What information makes a fashion-stock enquiry actionable?
Provide the legal company name, VAT number, professional contact and delivery country; select the correct references, purchasing mode and requested quantity; add only unresolved questions. An enquiry starts a commercial review: it does not reserve goods and it does not replace the written quotation.

From catalogue to enquiry in five steps
Keep the same item reference from initial assessment through to the commercial proposal.
1. Browse the catalogue
Filter lots and styles by channel, category and a quantity your business can manage.
2. Check the listing
Review available images, references, condition, composition, sizes, quantities and purchasing rule.
3. Build the selection
Add only relevant goods and choose full lot, partial lot or individual style where permitted.
4. Complete the enquiry
Enter business details, destination, requested quantities and precise outstanding questions.
5. Await verification
Treat availability, final quantity, price, VAT, freight and terms as confirmed only in the latest written quotation.
How to state quantity and purchasing mode
Separate the published quantity, the stated minimum and the quantity you want to buy. The selection communicates a preference; the final value depends on verified availability and the quotation.
- For a full lot, compare the selected quantity with the published total
- For a partial lot, meet the stated minimum or percentage
- For an individual style, use the dedicated mode only where the listing permits it
- If you want alternatives assessed, explain them clearly without duplicating references
Commercial context worth adding
The channel helps identify necessary conditions; there is no need to disclose confidential strategy or sales forecasts.
- Boutique
- State the categories, customer style, manageable quantity and any essential sizes or colours.
- Outlet
- State indicative volume, accepted or excluded categories and tolerance for samples or disclosed particularities.
- E-commerce
- State style references and required product data, and ask separately about permission to reuse images or video.
- Wholesaler or distributor
- State the market served, destination, indicative volume and relevant document or freight constraints.

Useful questions before accepting a quotation
Do not repeat information already clear on the listing; focus on points that still require confirmation.
- Do the images, labels and references correspond to the goods being proposed?
- Which purchasing mode and minimum apply to the selected references?
- What are the final quantity, price, VAT treatment and freight?
- Are there disclosed defects or particularities that need confirmation?
- Which dispatch, acceptance and claim conditions apply?
What happens after submission
Submission creates a commercial enquiry with a reference and starts review of the selection. It is not an order, payment, price acceptance or automatic reservation. If the request can proceed, confirmed terms are assembled in a written proposal; the latest accepted version is the transaction record.
Privacy boundary for free-text notes
Use the provided fields for requested business information. Do not enter payment-card data, banking access, passwords, document copies or unnecessary personal information in the notes. Any document later requested should be transmitted only through the channel agreed with TRA-COM SRLS.
Frequently asked questions about enquiries
- Does submitting an enquiry reserve stock?
- No. It starts a commercial review, but availability can change until a confirmation or accepted quotation expressly defines the conditions.
- Can I enquire about a lot without a public price?
- Yes. Provide references, requested quantity and destination; the written quotation can then combine confirmed price, VAT, freight and terms.
- Can I request only part of a lot or one style?
- Only where the listing permits partial-lot or by-style purchasing. State the preference, but the minimum and final quantity must be confirmed.
- Why does the form ask for a VAT number?
- The service is B2B. Legal company name and VAT number help identify the professional buyer and assess the transaction鈥檚 documentary and tax context.
- Should I send bank or card details in the notes?
- No. Do not put credentials, complete card numbers, security codes or sensitive documents in the enquiry notes.
