Frequently asked questions
Is freight insurance worth it for Nex 5 orders?
For container level orders it is; the premium is small relative to the exposure from loss, theft or water damage.
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 packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
What happens if a batch fails inspection?
The agreed procedure normally covers replacement of affected units or credit against the next order, documented before shipment.
Final word
The buyers who do this well are not luckier; they are simply more consistent about the basics.
