Checklist

• Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
• Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.
• Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
• Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
• Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
• Record the arrival condition with photographs on the day of delivery.

Commercial terms

Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.

Most long running accounts settle into a rhythm of monthly top ups with one larger seasonal build per year.

Frequently asked questions

How many Box Max samples should we request?

Three to five units per shortlisted configuration is enough to judge consistency.

Is documentation provided for customs?

Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.

How quickly can a repeat order be produced?

For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.

Can several models be mixed in one shipment?

Yes, mixing models and flavours within a carton or pallet is common and usually helps first time buyers test demand.

Final word

The buyers who do this well are not luckier; they are simply more consistent about the basics.
