Frequently asked questions
Should Max S be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
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
None of this is complicated, but it does need to be written down and reviewed on a schedule.
