Frequently asked questions
Should Box 5 be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
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.
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 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.
Final word
A short quarterly review of these points will keep the Box 5 range healthy without consuming the week.
