Practical notes for buyers
Freight consolidation changes the answer to retail margin planning at container scale, which is why small and large buyers reach different conclusions.
Where two suppliers look identical on price, retail margin planning is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.

- Record the arrival condition with photographs on the day of delivery.
