Commercial terms

Most long running accounts settle into a rhythm of monthly top ups with one larger seasonal build per year.

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

Volume tier	Indicative unit level	Lead time
Carton (57 units)	Tier 1	14-21 days
Pallet (1741 units)	Tier 2	14-21 days
Container (14480 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is freight insurance worth it for Meta Lite orders?

For container level orders it is; the premium is small relative to the exposure from loss, theft or water damage.

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
