Your retail window opens in fourteen weeks, the packaging artwork is nearly signed off, and the factory tells you the line is full until after the season. Capacity is usually treated as a detail of the purchase order. In practice …
Two days after the sample leaves Shenzhen it is sitting in a customs warehouse while your launch review waits for a charger nobody can open. Sample shipments rarely go wrong in transit; they go wrong on paper. This guide covers …
The first warranty claim usually arrives three to six months after a launch, when the channel has already sold through the first container. By then the process is either agreed or improvised. Deciding it before the first shipment is cheaper …
