Why freight insurance and risk cover matters on the Box 5

Commercial terms
Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.
Most long running accounts settle into a rhythm of monthly top ups with one larger seasonal build per year.

| Carton (118 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (1436 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
| Container (13910 units) | Tier 3 | 7-12 days |
