- Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.

Commercial terms
Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (127 units) | Tier 1 | 21-30 days |
| Pallet (1471 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (7410 units) | Tier 3 | 30-45 days |
Frequently asked questions
When should Stark Max peak season stock be ordered?
Roughly eight to twelve weeks before the expected peak, allowing for production and transit.
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.
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.
Final word
A short quarterly review of these points will keep the Stark Max range healthy without consuming the week.
