| Pallet (1426 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |

Frequently asked questions
Should Stark be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
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.
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.
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
The buyers who do this well are not luckier; they are simply more consistent about the basics.
