Some of our products are shown with technical data. When available, we link to a manufacturer's website with data. Technical data can also often be found through a search on Google. If you require technical spec sheets for an order, please ask us and we'll try to source them for you.

Product pricing

Many products on our site are already discounted. We do offer additional discounts for customers ordering in large quantities. If you have an order over € 2000 then please do not hesitate to contact us for adjusted pricing.

Do your prices include VAT / Sales Tax?
Our prices do not include VAT (Sales Tax or BTW in the Netherlands) because our website is geared towards business to business. We have to charge VAT to all Dutch customers and consumers from the EU. Companies outside the Netherlands and individuals outside of the EU can order from us without being charged VAT. We ask our EU business customers to provide a VAT number, also called EORI number. If you order from us from outside of the EU you may have to pay duties.

We will then send you the quote by email. If you would like to order from a quote, please contact us. You can also send us an email with your request for a quote. Please include make and part number if available, quantities and shipping requirements.

Stock, lead times and minimum orders

Do you have a certain product in stock?
Our current stock levels are available on the website. We either display the quantity we have in stock or a standard manufacturer lead time. Lead times are based on the standard manufacturer lead time and historical data. Omnical confirms lead times upon request and upon ordering. Given global shortages in raw materials and other supply chain issues in our industry due to Covid, actual lead times can be longer than usual.

What are the lead times for a product?
Lead times are based on the standard manufacturer lead time and historical data. Omnical confirms lead times upon request and upon ordering. Given global shortages in raw materials and other supply chain issues in our industry due to Covid, actual lead times can be longer than usual. Our default shipping method is DHL Express which takes 2-5 days for delivery. For remote areas, it may take another 1-3 days for a package to reach its final destination.

Do you require minimum order quantities?
Most of our products can be bought individually. Some, often smaller, products have a minimum order quantity which is shown on the product page.
