When evaluating FOB and CIF offers for a 23-seat bus, make sure each supplier is pricing the same vehicle, order quantity, destination port, and shipment schedule. Compare the vehicle cost separately from freight, insurance, and any other charges, then confirm who arranges each part of the shipment. Current company information lists sea freight and payment terms of a 30% deposit with the balance due before loading, but it does not include FOB or CIF prices for a 23-seat bus.

What to Confirm Before Comparing Prices

\n
    \n
  • Request itemized FOB and CIF quotations for the same 23-seat bus configuration and named destination port.
  • \n
  • Ask the supplier to show the freight and insurance components in the CIF price and list charges that are excluded.
  • \n
  • Confirm the applicable shipping method, payment schedule, inspection requirements, and delivery estimate for this specific order.
  • \n
  • Do not use the supplied LQD041 golf cart details as specifications or pricing for a 23-seat bus.

What the Available Company Information Covers

The product record provided identifies model LQD041 as an electric golf cart. It gives a minimum order quantity of one and a stated delivery period of 15–20 days, but contains no 23-seat bus model, bus configuration, or FOB and CIF rates. Request a separate bus specification and written quotation before assessing the shipment.

Langqing lists sea freight as its shipping method. Its company-level payment information states a 30% deposit, with the remaining balance due before loading. These terms should be verified for the bus order rather
