Frequently asked questions
Is freight insurance worth it for Gold Lite orders?
For container level orders it is; the premium is small relative to the exposure from loss, theft or water damage.
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.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
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
Start with one change, measure it over a quarter, then decide whether it deserves to become policy.
