Module 1 — Packing and Warehouse
Pack and store to the buyer's standard: correct cartons and shipping marks, scannable labels, controlled inventory and a finished-goods audit that ships exactly what the order says.
Sample quiz question from this module
A carton is packed above the buyer's stated maximum weight. What is the real risk?
- A. None, if the carton is strong
- B. Carton failure and handling injuries in the buyer's chain — often charged back, plus rejected goods
- C. Only that it weighs more at customs
- D. The fabric inside gets heavier
Show the answer
B. Carton failure and handling injuries in the buyer's chain — often charged back, plus rejected goods — Weight limits protect the carton through automated handling and the people who lift it. Overweight cartons burst, cause injuries and trigger chargebacks.
