Checklist
- Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
- Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
- Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
- Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
- Confirm the exact configuration in writing before the deposit is paid.
- Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.
Commercial terms
Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.
Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.
