How asking works

  1. 1
    Say how much, and where
    Your ask is free and isn’t an order. Change it or take it back any time.
  2. 2
    We gather brands in your city
    Once enough ask for the same product in one place, our team sets up a group deal.
  3. 3
    Suppliers bid sealed prices
    The suppliers who make it bid per unit at each quantity, under a ceiling we set. The best bid wins.
  4. 4
    You pledge, the price drops
    Our team gets in touch when it opens. The more brands pledge before closing, the lower everyone’s price.
