At VigorBuy, we understand that the journey a product takes from our warehouse to your customer is just as important as the product itself. Packaging damage during transit can lead to dissatisfied customers, costly returns, and lost revenue. This guide focuses on a simple yet powerful practice to significantly mitigate this risk.
