Wholesale demand in this category is driven less by novelty than by consistency, and freight insurance and risk cover is where that consistency is measured.

Keeping a short internal note on freight insurance and risk cover for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Autopod S.

Why freight insurance and risk cover matters on the Autopod S

Cover should start at the factory gate rather than at the port of loading.
