Keeping a short internal note on authenticity checks for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Zen.
Shops that receive a short briefing on authenticity checks convert noticeably better than shops that only receive stock.
Checklist
- Record the arrival condition with photographs on the day of delivery.
- Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.

Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (196 units) | Tier 1 | 7-12 days |
| Pallet (1007 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (8487 units) | Tier 3 | 30-45 days |
Frequently asked questions
How do I verify a Zen unit is genuine?
Check the security code on the official verification page and confirm the batch number matches the carton label.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
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.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
Final word
None of this is complicated, but it does need to be written down and reviewed on a schedule.
