Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk

A range review that ignores shelf merchandising will often produce a confident decision and a disappointing quarter on the Flux.
Keeping a short internal note on shelf merchandising for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Flux.
Why shelf merchandising matters on the Flux

Retail staff rarely ask about shelf merchandising directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.

Commercial terms
Agreeing a defect handling procedure before the first shipment removes emotion from later conversations.
Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (59 units) | Tier 1 | 21-30 days |
| Pallet (1017 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |
| Container (11500 units) | Tier 3 | 30-45 days |
Frequently asked questions
How much shelf space should Flux get?
Enough for a full flavour block; partial ranges confuse customers and slow rotation.
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.
Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
Final word
The buyers who do this well are not luckier; they are simply more consistent about the basics.
