Why we quote rather than list prices

Hardware distribution pricing moves with supply, volume and currency, sometimes weekly. A listed price is a promise about a moment; a quote is a promise about your order. For a trade buyer taking twenty of something, the quoted figure is nearly always the better one.

It also means the specification comes first. A shortlist sent to us can be checked for compatibility, stock timing and better-value equivalents before anyone commits — which is work a checkout cannot do.

The practical consequence for using this site is that the catalogue is a reference and a shortlist tool rather than a shop. Search by part number, save what you need, and send the list. Prices come back in Singapore dollars, GST inclusive.
