Two buyers can quote different final amounts even for the same item. The difference may come from the rate, testing, net-weight calculation or business policy.
Different Reference Rates
Businesses may update rates at different times or use different buying adjustments. Ask for the exact rate used in your calculation.
Purity and Weight Interpretation
Testing methods and treatment of mixed components can affect the eligible purity and net weight.
Compare the Final Explained Amount
Use the same tested purity and net weight when comparing offers. A headline rate alone does not show the complete result.
