I see many buyers still focus first on price discount, but one weak Incoterm decision can erase that saving very fast when there is delay, damage, or confusion at destination. Do Incoterm choices matter more now than small price difference?

For small buyers yes. A small discount disappears very quick when local handling cost and confusion start coming.

I learned this the hard way. Cheap offer with weak delivery terms can become expensive after arrival.

Exactly. Cheap FOB can look nice until destination side becomes messy.

When market is unstable, responsibility split becomes more important than the invoice itself.

Many buyers read Incoterm too late. They only understand it after the first problem.
