Checklist

• Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.

• Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
• Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.

Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.

Frequently asked questions

Will Elite S prices rise this year?
