Practical notes for buyers
Where two suppliers look identical on price, seasonal demand planning is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.
Seasonality interacts with seasonal demand planning more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.
Checklist
- Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
- Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
- Verify that artwork matches the approved compliance template.
- Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
- Confirm the exact configuration in writing before the deposit is paid.
- 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.
Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (149 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (575 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
| Container (17544 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
