Frequently asked questions

Is freight insurance worth it for Diamond Air orders?

For container level orders it is; the premium is small relative to the exposure from loss, theft or water damage.

Can packaging be adjusted for our market?

Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.

What happens if a batch fails inspection?

The agreed procedure normally covers replacement of affected units or credit against the next order, documented before shipment.

Can several models be mixed in one shipment?

Yes, mixing models and flavours within a carton or pallet is common and usually helps first time buyers test demand.
