Checklist
- Confirm the exact configuration in writing before the deposit is paid.
- Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.
- Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
- Record the arrival condition with photographs on the day of delivery.
- Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.
- Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
Commercial terms
Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.
Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (136 units) | Tier 1 | 7-12 days |
| Pallet (1330 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (7158 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
Frequently asked questions
Should Elite Max be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
What happens if a batch fails inspection?
The agreed procedure normally covers replacement of affected units or credit against the next order, documented before shipment.
Can several models be mixed in one shipment?
Yes, mixing models and flavours within a carton or pallet is common and usually helps first time buyers test demand.
Final word
The buyers who do this well are not luckier; they are simply more consistent about the basics.
