Commercial terms
Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.
Most long running accounts settle into a rhythm of monthly top ups with one larger seasonal build per year.

| Carton (177 units) | Tier 1 | 21-30 days |
| Pallet (1012 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |
| Container (10891 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
Frequently asked questions
Should Meta S be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
How quickly can a repeat order be produced?
For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.
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.
Final word
The buyers who do this well are not luckier; they are simply more consistent about the basics.
