Include time for receipt, inspection, internal distribution, and any contingency that matters to the project. ## Provide the complete destination The destination country, postal code, delivery type, and warehouse requirements can affect freight options and cost. Note appointment requirements, limited receiving hours, pallet restrictions, or other known conditions. ## Account for approval and production Production start requirements vary by project and are stated in the applicable quote.
