Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.

| Carton (186 units) | Tier 1 | 21-30 days |
| Pallet (1710 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
| Container (15788 units) | Tier 3 | 30-45 days |
Frequently asked questions
How much shelf space should Meta Mini get?
Enough for a full flavour block; partial ranges confuse customers and slow rotation.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
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.
Final word
A short quarterly review of these points will keep the Meta Mini range healthy without consuming the week.
