Frequently asked questions

Should Flux 5 be discounted to launch?

A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.

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 packaging be adjusted for our market?

Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.

How quickly can a repeat order be produced?

For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.
