Why retail margin planning matters on the Zeal 4

Checklist

Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
Confirm the exact configuration in writing before the deposit is paid.
Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.

Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.

Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

Carton (55 units)	Tier 1	21-30 days
Pallet (1265 units)	Tier 2	14-21 days
Container (18272 units)	Tier 3	21-30 days

All figures above are indicative working ranges used for planning. Final specification and commercial terms are confirmed in writing before any deposit.
