A proper HDPE road mats quotation must state: exact dimensions, thickness, core type, resin grade (virgin/recycled %), surface tread, UV/anti-static package, unit price, currency, MOQ, lead time, and incoterm (FOB/CIF/DDP). Compare quotes on landed $/m² with identical spec — never on unit price alone. Traps: "composite" with no load number, missing UV stabilisation, FOB-only quotes that hide freight/duty, and "price valid 24h" pressure. Always ask for the load test report reference alongside the quote.
A quotation is a contract-in-waiting. If a supplier cannot fill every spec field, you are not being quoted — you are being estimated, and estimates hide risk.
The Spec Fields a Quote Must Contain
| Field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Dimensions (L×W) | Defines coverage per mat |
| Thickness | Drives load + cost |
| Core | Solid vs hollow vs foam-filled |
| Resin grade | Virgin % affects life |
| Tread | Vehicle vs pedestrian |
| UV package | Outdoor lifespan |
| Incoterm | Who pays freight/duty |
Incoterms Cheat Sheet
| Term | You pay | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| EXW | Everything after factory gate | Highest (you arrange all) |
| FOB | Freight + duty + last mile | Medium |
| CIF | Duty + last mile | Lower |
| DDP | Nothing more (landed) | Lowest (supplier handles all) |
Traps to Avoid
- "Composite" with no PSI/tonne — unverifiable.
- FOB-only quotes — hide the real landed cost.
- No UV stabilisation listed — mat chalks and cracks in a season.
- 24-hour price pressure — legitimate factories don't rush you.
- No load test report ref — ask for the third-party doc.
Red flag
A quote that changes the spec to hit a lower number is not a discount — it is a different, sub-spec product.
Frequently Asked Questions
What must a mat quote include?
Exact dimensions, thickness, core type, resin grade, tread, UV package, unit price, currency, MOQ, lead time, and incoterm — plus a load test report reference.
FOB or DDP — which is better?
FOB is cheaper headline but you own freight/duty. DDP gives a true landed cost with less hassle. For fair comparison, always convert to landed $/m².
Why does spec matter more than price?
Two quotes at the same price can have 2× different resin weight or no UV package. Identical spec is the only basis for comparison.
