Practical notes for buyers

Documentation is not paperwork for its own sake; on retail margin planning it is the difference between a clean clearance and a delayed one.

Checklist

Confirm the exact configuration in writing before the deposit is paid.
Record the arrival condition with photographs on the day of delivery.
Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.
Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.
