| Pallet (652 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |

Frequently asked questions
Should Mint 3 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.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
Final word
Start with one change, measure it over a quarter, then decide whether it deserves to become policy.
