Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (153 units) | Tier 1 | 21-30 days |
| Pallet (1990 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
| Container (16608 units) | Tier 3 | 30-45 days |

How should used Autopod Mini units be disposed of?
Through designated battery or electronics collection points, never in general household waste.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
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.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
