Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Agreeing a defect handling procedure before the first shipment removes emotion from later conversations.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (50 units) | Tier 1 | 30-45 days |
| Pallet (941 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
| Container (10224 units) | Tier 3 | 30-45 days |
Frequently asked questions
How much shelf space should Meta 4 get?
Enough for a full flavour block; partial ranges confuse customers and slow rotation.
Do you support long term supply agreements?

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.
Can several models be mixed in one shipment?
Yes, mixing models and flavours within a carton or pallet is common and usually helps first time buyers test demand.
Final word
Start with one change, measure it over a quarter, then decide whether it deserves to become policy.
