In most cases, customers can place orders directly on the TDSA website.
However, some orders need to be quoted first to ensure that pricing, availability, and lead times are correct.
Quotes are usually required for bulk orders, special orders, or items that are not listed on the website.
When you should request a quote
You should request a quote if:
- The order is a bulk or wholesale order
- The order value is high (for example large orders over ±R15 000)
- You need a formal quotation
- The item is not on the website
- The item must be imported or specially ordered
- The order is for a company, reseller, or government
- You need delivery quoted separately
- You need custom, branded, or manufactured items
In some cases, even smaller orders may need a quote if the request is clearly bulk or trade related.
Why quotes are sometimes necessary
Many products supplied by Tactical Distributors SA are:
- Ordered from suppliers after payment
- Imported on request
- Manufactured to order
- Supplied in bulk
- Subject to supplier availability
- Affected by exchange rates
Because of this, we sometimes need to confirm pricing and stock before the order can be processed.
Website orders vs quoted orders
For normal retail purchases, we recommend ordering directly on the website: https://www.tacticaldistributors.co.za
For bulk, special, or complex orders, please request a quote.
This helps avoid errors, delays, or incorrect pricing.
