Why freight insurance and risk cover matters on the Prime Air
Cover should start at the factory gate rather than at the port of loading.
Retail staff rarely ask about freight insurance and risk cover directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.

- Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.

- Verify that artwork matches the approved compliance template.
Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (172 units) | Tier 1 | 7-12 days |
| Pallet (1494 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
| Container (5652 units) | Tier 3 | 7-12 days |
Frequently asked questions
Is freight insurance worth it for Prime Air orders?
For container level orders it is; the premium is small relative to the exposure from loss, theft or water damage.
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.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
Final word
The buyers who do this well are not luckier; they are simply more consistent about the basics.
