Question 2:  How do you ensure that product you produce is up to my quality standard?

This is a great question! We work extremely close with our brand partners, help them manufacture their own Ecommerce products, help them get distribution etc. It is paramount for us to uphold the expectations of both the brand and our box partners. 

 

 

 

 

Quality control is a term that unfortunately is used lightly in the manufacturing space. However, we do not take quality control lightly. We have an extremely rigorous process for our production facilities to join our network. This process can take years and is stringent in the amount of due diligence conducted. We have a team both overseas  and North America ensuring that all expectations are met.

We hedge currency on a discretionary basis in an effort to prevent pricing from increasing due to currency fluctuations. There are some things that are outside of our control (i.e. the pandemic, oil prices, etc.), however we do everything inside our control to prevent pricing from changing. There are boxes we have worked with for over four years wihtout pricing chnaging at all!

8. What are average lead times?

This is a great question and an important one too. Lead times are all probability based as customs technically has the right to take as long as they like (even with properly labeled products). We look to execute on the best lead times based on a clients needs (quantity, pricing, etc.). By sea, lead times can be 2.5-4.5 months depending on the product. By air, lead times can be 3 weeks to 2 months depends on the product.
