YOUR WRITTEN QUOTES
Keep every unanswered cost visible.
Replace UNKNOWN only with a written answer. A blank or unknown charge is not zero. For an included cost, name the line that already covers it.

The sheet records information; it does not verify a seller or decide which quote is better. Compare the same 12-month scope. Use the cost calculator when both quotes are in USD; no currency conversion is provided.
Make sure you are comparing the same thing
Keep the exact item, options and services beside the price. A base price can leave out customization, cutting or fitting. A more inclusive quote may look higher at first, while a lower product price may require separate service purchases.
Ask for a written breakdown. If a seller cannot give you a number yet, leave it as an unanswered question in your budget. Do not turn silence into a zero charge.
Ask these questions in the seller’s own terms
- What is included? Confirm the specific system, selected options, quantity, and all included services.
- What happens at the first appointment? Ask whether resizing, cut-in and attachment are included, and whether there is a separate appointment charge.
- What are repeat visits likely to cover? Confirm which tasks are priced as fittings and which as maintenance. Record your planned number of visits separately from the quoted price.
- Which supplies are separate? Ask what comes with the order and what you would need to purchase later. Use your own spending plan rather than a universal allowance.
- What will shipping and tax add? Give the seller your actual destination. Confirm repeat-order shipping and any charges that may be collected separately.
- Which discounts apply? Ask about item eligibility, expiry, order limits and whether a promotion applies beyond the first purchase.
- What changes after customization? Ask about cutting, coloring, sizing, opening packaging and any non-refundable services before proceeding.
- How do cancellation and returns work? Confirm deadlines, item condition, fees, return shipping, and the exact policy for the item you are considering.
- Can I have the final details in writing? Save the quote, selected options and applicable terms together.
Check an answer, not just a box
The checklist gives each question three states: “To ask,” “Confirmed” or “Not applicable.” “Confirmed” means you have reviewed the information yourself. It does not mean FreeHairLoss has checked the seller’s answer or guaranteed a right to return.
When you open the checklist from a budget, missing cost fields are highlighted. Previously confirmed items that become missing again return to “To ask,” so an earlier answer does not hide a new gap.
Compare the published conditions
Use the seller comparison to look at ordinary stock, seller-added services and custom orders separately. Where official pages disagree, keep the question open until the seller confirms the exact terms for your order.
Keep the budget and the terms together
Prices and purchase conditions answer different questions. Your budget helps you see planned spending; the seller’s terms explain the conditions of the transaction. Neither replaces the other.
Save a copy of both. The tool can download your budget as CSV, and the browser print function can save a PDF. Do not rely on an open browser tab as your only record, because refreshing or closing it clears the working data.
If something is still unclear
Return to the relevant question and ask the seller before deciding. The tool does not review contracts, negotiate refunds, recommend a medical treatment or decide which product is suitable for you.
Open your buying checklist, or return to the budget tool to update an answer.
