Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk

Why carton and pallet configuration matters on the Box 3
Inner tray counts should be chosen so a single carton matches a realistic week of counter sales.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Box 3.
Pallet patterns that interlock reduce movement damage on long road legs.

Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (182 units) | Tier 1 | 7-12 days |
| Pallet (1261 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (10947 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
Frequently asked questions
