Frequently asked questions
How much shelf space should Autopod get?
Enough for a full flavour block; partial ranges confuse customers and slow rotation.
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.
Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
Final word
A short quarterly review of these points will keep the Autopod range healthy without consuming the week.
