Why storage and shelf life matters on the Zen X

Commercial terms
Agreeing a defect handling procedure before the first shipment removes emotion from later conversations.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

|---|---|---|
| Carton (198 units) | Tier 1 | 7-12 days |
| Pallet (632 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (9613 units) | Tier 3 | 30-45 days |
Frequently asked questions
What shelf life should a Zen X order assume?
Plan around twelve to twenty four months depending on format, and rotate stock accordingly.
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.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
Final word
