Checklist
- Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
- Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
- Record the arrival condition with photographs on the day of delivery.
- Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.
- Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
- Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
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 (174 units) | Tier 1 | 7-12 days |
| Pallet (694 units) | Tier 2 | 7-12 days |
| Container (7788 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
Frequently asked questions
How much shelf space should Meta X get?
Enough for a full flavour block; partial ranges confuse customers and slow rotation.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
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
A short quarterly review of these points will keep the Meta X range healthy without consuming the week.
