Frequently asked questions
Should Aero be discounted to launch?

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.
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.
