Retail staff rarely ask about retail pricing psychology directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
Checklist
- Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
- Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.
- Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
- Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
- Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
- Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
Commercial terms
Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.
Currency movement over a ninety day cycle can outweigh the difference between two competing quotations.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |

| Container (18418 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
Frequently asked questions
Should Zen S be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
Final word
A short quarterly review of these points will keep the Zen S range healthy without consuming the week.
