Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Most long running accounts settle into a rhythm of monthly top ups with one larger seasonal build per year.

| Carton (81 units) | Tier 1 | 30-45 days |
| Pallet (1640 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (8569 units) | Tier 3 | 30-45 days |
Frequently asked questions
Should Meta Plus 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.
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.
Final word
None of this is complicated, but it does need to be written down and reviewed on a schedule.
