Where two suppliers look identical on price, retail pricing psychology is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.

Frequently asked questions
Should Rift 3 be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
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.
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.
Final word
None of this is complicated, but it does need to be written down and reviewed on a schedule.
