Our first 150kg order of 2-3cm dried mealworms in 1kg retail bags was delayed by 9 days beyond the quoted 12-day lead time due to a logistics handover issue at origin. This caused a brief stockout across three of our stores. The supplier acknowledged the issue, provided a 5% credit on the order value, and assigned a dedicated logistics coordinator for our account. The follow-up 200kg order was delivered in 11 days and product quality — protein at 53.1% DM, moisture at 9.2% — was fully on spec. Issue was handled professionally and we are continuing the relationship.
