Why retail pricing psychology matters on the Gold

| Carton (166 units) | Tier 1 | 30-45 days |
| Pallet (699 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |
| Container (11337 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
Frequently asked questions
Should Gold be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
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.
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.
