Commercial terms
Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.
Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (91 units) | Tier 1 | 30-45 days |
| Pallet (1659 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
| Container (6841 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
Frequently asked questions
How should a Meta 4 carton be configured?
Match inner tray quantity to roughly a week of counter sales, then set master carton and pallet counts around it.
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.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
Final word
None of this is complicated, but it does need to be written down and reviewed on a schedule.
