Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.

|---|---|---|
| Carton (138 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (1553 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |
| Container (10682 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
Frequently asked questions
Should Autopod Plus be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.

Yes, mixing models and flavours within a carton or pallet is common and usually helps first time buyers test demand.
