Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (123 units) | Tier 1 | 21-30 days |
| Pallet (531 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (13670 units) | Tier 3 | 14-21 days |
Frequently asked questions
Should Pearl 5 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.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
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
None of this is complicated, but it does need to be written down and reviewed on a schedule.
