The Max Mini has settled into a stable position in the range, which makes freight insurance and risk cover the natural next question for distributors.
Consistency across batches matters more than peak performance for Max Mini, and freight insurance and risk cover is where inconsistency first appears.
Why freight insurance and risk cover matters on the Max Mini
Cover should start at the factory gate rather than at the port of loading.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Max Mini economics actually settle.
Declared value needs to match the commercial invoice or claims are reduced proportionally.
