Order planning questions
Can I mix categories?
Usually possible to discuss, but the shipment plan depends on carton, battery, liquid and factory packing rules.
Can you quote CIF?
Yes, when destination port, carton volume and shipment assumptions are available. EXW and FOB are common starting points.
When is the product ready?
Timing depends on stock status, customization, sample approval, order quantity and the factory schedule. The quote confirms the working window.
