Wholesale demand in this category is driven less by novelty than by consistency, and storage and shelf life is where that consistency is measured.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Autopod Max.
Why storage and shelf life matters on the Autopod Max
Cool, dry and dark storage preserves flavour stability over the stated shelf life.
Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind storage and shelf life: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.
First in first out rotation prevents older batches ageing on the shelf.

Commercial terms

| Carton (125 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (1869 units) | Tier 2 | 7-12 days |
| Container (16669 units) | Tier 3 | 14-21 days |
