Common Onboarding Topics

Here is some information we may need to know during the onboarding process or before processing orders. To prepare for your onboarding, please keep the following in mind as we may ask! 

Does your product need kitting? 

This may apply to multi-packs, subscription SKUs, or marketing materials. If you would like your product packed, kitted, or shipped in a particular way, please fill out our Shipping Pilot Kitting/Bundle Form.
