Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.

Frequently asked questions
Should Zen S be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
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.
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.
