Al Fakher Prime Payment and Credit Terms Checklist 2026
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Payment and credit terms shape cash flow as much as unit price does for Prime.
The Prime has settled into a stable position in the range, which makes payment and credit terms the natural next question for distributors.
Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind payment and credit terms: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.
Why payment and credit terms matters on the Prime
Standard practice is a deposit with balance before shipment for new accounts.
Documentation is not paperwork for its own sake; on payment and credit terms it is the difference between a clean clearance and a delayed one.
Established relationships may move to documentary credit or open terms.

Practical notes for buyers
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Prime economics actually settle.
Shops that receive a short briefing on payment and credit terms convert noticeably better than shops that only receive stock.
Checklist
- Confirm the exact configuration in writing before the deposit is paid.
- Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.
- Verify that artwork matches the approved compliance template.
- Record the arrival condition with photographs on the day of delivery.
- Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
- Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
Commercial terms
Most long running accounts settle into a rhythm of monthly top ups with one larger seasonal build per year.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (83 units) | Tier 1 | 30-45 days |
| Pallet (1684 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (14157 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
Frequently asked questions

Final word
