You already have the channels and the warehouse. What you need is fewer suppliers, predictable carton data and a QC standard that doesn't change between shipments.
Each factory insists on its own MOQ, so you ship 60% volume and pay 100% freight. Your landed cost per unit quietly inflates.
Stated CBM is 8% off reality, so the container plan collapses at the port and you pay for a second shipment.
You re-order "the same item" and get a different finish, because nobody wrote the spec down after the first PO.
| Mixed container | Combine brewing, grinding, espresso accessories, drinkware and bar tools in a single shipment. Category MOQs apply per SKU, not per container. |
|---|---|
| Verified packing data | Carton dimensions, gross weight, units per carton and container load (20GP / 40GP / 40HQ) are stated in the catalogue and confirmed again on the proforma invoice. |
| Written spec lock | First-order samples are archived with a signed spec sheet and reference photos. Re-orders are produced against that sheet. |
| Incoterms | EXW / FOB / CIF / DDP. We quote the same goods under two Incoterms so you can compare against your own forwarder's rate. |
An example mix that fills volume while spreading category risk. Swap lines freely — this is a starting point, not a package deal.
| Category | Example SKUs | Role in the mix |
|---|---|---|
| Brewing | Moka Pots | Volume driver, fast turnover |
| Grinding | Manual Coffee Grinders | Margin driver, gift appeal |
| Espresso Accessories | Tampers, puck screens, pitchers | High repeat rate, small cartons |
| Drinkware | Coffee Tumblers | Seasonal and promotional demand |
| Bar Accessories | Bar Tool Sets & Storage | Fills remaining CBM at low unit cost |
All figures above are indicative starting points. Final MOQ, lead time and tooling terms are confirmed in writing per project.
Redacted is fine. We'll tell you which lines we can consolidate, and what the landed cost looks like under FOB and CIF.
