Checklist

• Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
• Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
• Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
• Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
• Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.
• Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.

Frequently asked questions

Is freight insurance worth it for Phoenix Plus orders?

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.

Do you support long term supply agreements?

Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
