Freight consolidation changes the answer to retail margin planning at container scale, which is why small and large buyers reach different conclusions.

In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Diamond 5.

Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
Record the arrival condition with photographs on the day of delivery.
Verify that artwork matches the approved compliance template.
Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.
Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
