Commercial terms
Currency movement over a ninety day cycle can outweigh the difference between two competing quotations.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

| Pallet (1016 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (16990 units) | Tier 3 | 14-21 days |

Yes, mixing models and flavours within a carton or pallet is common and usually helps first time buyers test demand.
