Commercial terms
Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.
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 (145 units) | Tier 1 | 7-12 days |
| Pallet (1950 units) | Tier 2 | 7-12 days |
| Container (6157 units) | Tier 3 | 14-21 days |
