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 (149 units) | Tier 1 | 30-45 days |
| Pallet (1925 units) | Tier 2 | 7-12 days |
| Container (12781 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
Frequently asked questions
Is freight insurance worth it for Zen Max orders?
For container level orders it is; the premium is small relative to the exposure from loss, theft or water damage.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
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
Start with one change, measure it over a quarter, then decide whether it deserves to become policy.
