Why freight insurance and risk cover matters on the Lux

Frequently asked questions
Is freight insurance worth it for Lux 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?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
How quickly can a repeat order be produced?
For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.
Final word
None of this is complicated, but it does need to be written down and reviewed on a schedule.
