Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (149 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (671 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |
| Container (16876 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
Frequently asked questions
How should used Meta 3 units be disposed of?
Through designated battery or electronics collection points, never in general household waste.
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.
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
Start with one change, measure it over a quarter, then decide whether it deserves to become policy.
