Quick answers
Zradona replies by email within 1 business day to confirm your spec and fill any gaps. Indian manufacturers that have passed a basic screening (not a guarantee of quality or performance) then quote against that spec in the same format, on the FOB or CIF terms you chose.
No. Requesting quotes is free and carries no obligation. If you accept one, you contract with and pay the manufacturer directly, on terms you agree with them, such as LC at sight or an advance with the balance against shipping documents. Zradona facilitates the sale but is not a party to the sale, and it does not hold buyer payments.
Mundra or Nhava Sheva (JNPT) for FOB orders: the manufacturer delivers the goods on board there, and you or your forwarder book the ocean freight. For CIF orders, the manufacturer books the freight and minimum insurance to the port you name. Shipping is arranged by the supplier and its freight forwarder, not Zradona.
Yes, optionally. Open "Add notes or a spec sheet" in the quote form and attach a PDF, JPG or PNG of up to 5 MB. A file is not required, because the form already asks for film type, thickness, width and quantity. Notes such as core size, roll weight or colour can go in the same panel.
Yes. Choose one-off, monthly or quarterly under Order frequency in the quote form, so manufacturers know how often you plan to order when they quote. You contract with and pay the manufacturer directly for each order, on payment terms you agree with them and on FOB or CIF terms. Zradona does not charge buyers any fee.
