Air Bar Box: Sample Order Workflow for Distributors
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
A disciplined sample workflow shortens the path from first interest to a Box purchase order.
A range review that ignores sample order workflow will often produce a confident decision and a disappointing quarter on the Box.
Seasonality interacts with sample order workflow more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.
Why sample order workflow matters on the Box
Request samples with the final specification, not an approximation.
Where two suppliers look identical on price, sample order workflow is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.
Evaluate across at least two weeks of real use.

Checklist
- Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
- Record the arrival condition with photographs on the day of delivery.
- Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.
- Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
- Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.
- Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
Commercial terms
Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (107 units) | Tier 1 | 7-12 days |
| Pallet (1993 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |
| Container (8519 units) | Tier 3 | 14-21 days |
Frequently asked questions
How many Box samples should we request?
Three to five units per shortlisted configuration is enough to judge consistency.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
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.
Final word
Start with one change, measure it over a quarter, then decide whether it deserves to become policy.
