After you place a BFCM purchase order, the real risk isn't price.

These hidden problems often surface as a stockout in November, killing your biggest sales period.

If you placed a VFCM purchase order in the last few weeks, it's in production right now. Good. You made the call, but the risk just moved from a pricing decision to something much quieter. And here's the pattern I see constantly. Founder places the PO, feels relief, goes quiet until the shipment shows up, or does it? In between, a quality slip, a payment released before anything was verified, and a timeline sliding a week at a time. It all compounds silently, then resurfaces as a November stockout.
