Practical notes for buyers
Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind freight insurance and risk cover: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.
Keeping a short internal note on freight insurance and risk cover for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Max Mini.
Checklist
- Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.
- Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
- Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.
- Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
- Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
- Confirm the exact configuration in writing before the deposit is paid.
Commercial terms
Agreeing a defect handling procedure before the first shipment removes emotion from later conversations.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
