Frequently asked questions
Is freight insurance worth it for Diamond orders?
For container level orders it is; the premium is small relative to the exposure from loss, theft or water damage.
Do you support long term supply agreements?

Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
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.
