List your requirements.
Include product names, approximate quantities and preferred pack sizes. If your requirements are flexible, say so.
Explain the use.
Retail shelves, café ingredients, corporate gifts and resale can require different packaging. Tell the store how you plan to use the products.
Discuss the details.
Ask about available varieties, packaging, minimum quantities and delivery. Treat the enquiry as the start of a conversation; the store confirms the final terms.
