Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (87 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (1191 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (17791 units) | Tier 3 | 7-12 days |
Frequently asked questions
How much shelf space should Autopod X get?
Enough for a full flavour block; partial ranges confuse customers and slow rotation.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
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.
Final word
The buyers who do this well are not luckier; they are simply more consistent about the basics.
