Do not compare makeup brush price in long time span

We know that it is not the first time for most customers to buy makeup brushes from chinese makeup brush manufacturers. Some must have been in this field for many years and have cooperated with many worldwide makeup brush factories for many years. So they can estimate the rough price range of the brushes they need even if no manufacturer can offer the exactly same price with the others.
 
Even those customers who just step into the makeup brush industry will also send their inquiries to manufacturers as many as they can, so that they can compare the price between different suppliers and try to find the best one from them.
 
We can understand that customers need to compare price between different suppliers to have a rough idea on the price system of the makeup brushes. However, such comparation should be in the same period. It will be the best if the time span can be shorter than one month. That is, customers send same inquiry to many suppliers in early 2013 March, and get all quotation within one month, then they can compare all quotation.
 
If the time span is too long, such comparation will be meaningless, as the price must have great difference. For example, one customer sends us an inquiry for our quotation, and we quote our best price according to their drawings and samples, but they are surprised by our price and said our price is double of their previous supplier. The fact is their last order was placed in 2011 Jan, so they can get great price from their previous supplier. However, when they want to order again from that supplier this month, the supplier increases the price a lot, otherwise, the supplier will not accept this order. Therefore, they try to find another supplier who can offer the same price as they get in 2011. Of course, now they will not be able to get the same quality brush with such price.
 
The makeup brush manufacturers will know that the cost has increased a lot comparing with 2011. The increase of all cost such as material cost, labor cost and other operation cost, have decided the price trend of the makeup brushes.
 
Therefore, customers should not compare the current price with that in 2011. In fact, the price will change even within one month due to the mateial cost change. That is why the valid period of our quotation is 30 days.
