Should Classic 5 be discounted to launch?

Can several models be mixed in one shipment?
Yes, mixing models and flavours within a carton or pallet is common and usually helps first time buyers test demand.

For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.
