Checklist

Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
Confirm the exact configuration in writing before the deposit is paid.
Verify that artwork matches the approved compliance template.
Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
Record the arrival condition with photographs on the day of delivery.

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.

Volume tier	Indicative unit level	Lead time
Carton (164 units)	Tier 1	30-45 days
Pallet (1007 units)	Tier 2	30-45 days
Container (9680 units)	Tier 3	14-21 days

All figures above are indicative working ranges used for planning. Final specification and commercial terms are confirmed in writing before any deposit.
