Frequently asked questions
Should Zen S be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
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.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
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.
Final word
None of this is complicated, but it does need to be written down and reviewed on a schedule.
