Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.

Frequently asked questions
Is freight insurance worth it for Autopod S orders?
For container level orders it is; the premium is small relative to the exposure from loss, theft or water damage.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
How quickly can a repeat order be produced?
For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.
