Commercial terms
Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.
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 (72 units) | Tier 1 | 30-45 days |
| Pallet (1962 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (12114 units) | Tier 3 | 7-12 days |
Frequently asked questions
What shelf life should a Nex 3 order assume?
Plan around twelve to twenty four months depending on format, and rotate stock accordingly.
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.
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.
Final word
The buyers who do this well are not luckier; they are simply more consistent about the basics.
