Shipping and logistics determine the landed cost of Gold 5 more often than the factory price does.
The Gold 5 has settled into a stable position in the range, which makes shipping and logistics the natural next question for distributors.
Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind shipping and logistics: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.
Why shipping and logistics matters on the Gold 5
Battery containing shipments require the correct dangerous goods documentation.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Gold 5.
Consolidating pallets reduces per unit freight meaningfully at container scale.
