How to Source Air Bar Box 3: Sample Order Workflow
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
A disciplined sample workflow shortens the path from first interest to a Box 3 purchase order.
The Box 3 has settled into a stable position in the range, which makes sample order workflow the natural next question for distributors.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Box 3 economics actually settle.
Why sample order workflow matters on the Box 3
Request samples with the final specification, not an approximation.
Where two suppliers look identical on price, sample order workflow is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.
Evaluate across at least two weeks of real use.

Practical notes for buyers
Seasonality interacts with sample order workflow more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Box 3.
Checklist
- Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
- Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
- Verify that artwork matches the approved compliance template.
- Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
- Record the arrival condition with photographs on the day of delivery.
- Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
Commercial terms
Agreeing a defect handling procedure before the first shipment removes emotion from later conversations.
Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (112 units) | Tier 1 | 7-12 days |
| Pallet (1168 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |
| Container (10630 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
Frequently asked questions
