Checklist

• Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
• Record the arrival condition with photographs on the day of delivery.
• Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
• Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
• Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.
• Confirm the exact configuration in writing before the deposit is paid.

Commercial terms

Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.

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