Common checks for packaging and delivery discussions

Packaging, labelling, quantity and transport arrangements should be confirmed for the selected products instead of assumed.

Packaging and delivery terms can be affected by product size, bundle configuration, sourcing quantity, transport route and labelling requirements. Similar categories should not automatically be assigned the same packaging specification.

Discuss individual and bundled packaging, carton marks, accompanying documents, shipping method and preferred schedule item by item. The final arrangement and timing should be confirmed after products and quantities are clear, so example information is not mistaken for a commitment.
