You’ve been here before: a customer wants a quote, and they want it fast. But you can’t give them one right away because most drawer box suppliers make it nearly impossible to get an accurate price online. The process is confusing, clunky, or just plain outdated. You’re left juggling calls, follow-up emails, and uncertainty while your customer’s losing patience. You’re worried about underpricing. And worst of all? You know this part of the job shouldn’t be this hard.

How To Quote Your Drawer Boxes Online In 8 Steps
Quoting drawer boxes online should give you more freedom, not more frustration. Our system, powered by Allmoxy, delivers real-time, accurate pricing based on your selections. There are three key advantages to using our online system to quote your drawer boxes:
- Your pricing is always accurate and up-to-date
- You see your total immediately as you build your quote
- You don’t have to keep track of everything on paper
We know entering your first quote can feel a bit intimidating. But keep these two things in mind:
Now, let’s walk through the steps together.
1. Sign In
You need a contractor or homeowner account to get started. If you don’t have one, request your account now. You’ll receive login details by email once our team has finalized your account.
You won’t be able to access the quoting tool without an account.
2. Begin A Quote
Once you have signed in, click Add Order at the bottom right-hand side of your page.
Then, select Dovetail Drawer Boxes from the product categories. You’ll see a list of specific drawer box types. Choose the one that fits your needs best – there are options like Birch Plywood dovetail drawers or solid wood box joint drawer boxes.
3. Choose Product Specifications
Now, it’s time to customize your drawer boxes. Each drawer box product has multiple configurable options like:
- Side material
- Base material and thickness
- Finish type
Before moving on to the next step, go through each dropdown carefully. This stage is where the most costly problems happen, so take your time and double-check your specifications!
4. Enter Quantities & Sizes
Now, tell us how many of each drawer box you need and their dimensions. There’s a table where you enter width, height, and depth for each item.
Click Add Rows if you run out of room and need more line items.
5. Repeat Steps 3 & 4 For Each Drawer Box Type
Scroll down to the bottom of your current product, and you’ll see the category options again. If you need to quote another type of drawer box or add cabinet doors, go back to step 3 and start with the new selection.
You can build a complete multi-product quote this way – no need to start over with a new order.
6. Enter Order Details
Look to the black sidebar on the right. Here’s where you add:
- Your order name or PO number
- A requested ship date if you have one
- Your shipping address and method
Use a job name your team will recognize - for example, Smith Kitchen.
7. Save Your Quote
Click Save Order in the bottom-right corner. The page will reload, and your quote will now have a Bid Number listed at the top right.
Receiving a bid or order number confirms your quote is saved under your account. Our team won’t begin production until you specifically confirm the order.
What To Do If You Can’t Save Your Quote
Sometimes, your quote won’t save. Common reasons include:
- You missed a required field
- A size is missing or has a space
- You lost connection, or your login expired
First, check for error messages at the top of the page and see if you can resolve the problems. If you still can’t save your order, read our guide to troubleshooting online orders or contact our team for assistance.
How To View The Quote For Your Drawer Boxes Online
Once you have saved your quote, you can now review or share it:
- Ensure it’s saved and up-to-date (hit Save again to confirm).
- Click Part Lists at the top of the page.
- Select either:
- Quote (for imperial dimensions)
- Quote – Metric (if you work in metric)
- Use the right-hand sidebar to print or email your quote.
This makes it easy to share with your clients and team or keep a copy for your records.
Now, you might be wondering why you have to go to all the work of entering your quote online. Isn’t there a square foot price you could use instead?
Why You Can’t Get Square Foot Pricing For Drawer Boxes Online
We often get asked: “Can I just get a per-square-foot price for drawer boxes?”
The answer is no, and here’s why.
Unlike cabinet doors, drawer boxes are not one-size-fits-all. They don’t have a fixed ratio of side material to base material. Because of this, there’s no reliable formula to apply a square foot or cubic foot rate. You could end up overpricing (and losing the job) or underpricing (and losing money).
Accurate pricing requires a full quote. It’s the only way to protect your margins and your reputation.
Should You Ask Our Team To Review Your Quote?
In most cases, your online quote is all you need. They’re accurate 80% of the time. However, it’s worth getting our team involved sometimes. Here’s when:
Your Location Isn’t One Of Cutting Edge’s Standard Destinations
Our system uses standard rates to estimate shipping costs. However, it often underestimates the shipping costs for remote shipping locations or oversized shipments.
Ask our team for help if your location isn’t one of our standard destinations or if the shipping costs are unusual. We’ll confirm the price then and there to prevent surprises later on.
You’ve Added Custom Features
Did you order custom joinery, unusual materials, or modifications such as U-shaped drawer boxes? These might not price correctly. Let us double-check to ensure the price includes all necessary upcharges.
You’re Ordering Display Samples
Our team can apply special pricing if your quote is for showroom or display units. Just let us know!
We’re here to ensure your quote is correct and competitive.
