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 (152 units) | Tier 1 | 7-12 days |
| Pallet (778 units) | Tier 2 | 7-12 days |
| Container (12311 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
Frequently asked questions
How many Meta 3 samples should we request?
Three to five units per shortlisted configuration is enough to judge consistency.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
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.
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.
Final word
A short quarterly review of these points will keep the Meta 3 range healthy without consuming the week.
