Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

|---|---|---|
| Carton (162 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (894 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (19741 units) | Tier 3 | 7-12 days |
Frequently asked questions
Should Nex be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
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
None of this is complicated, but it does need to be written down and reviewed on a schedule.
