PURCHASING INFORMATION

Ordering & Delivery

What is your minimum order quantity?

There is no minimum order quantity for products that are in stock. For products that are not in stock, the MOQ is calculated per part number:

  • Automotive belts: 15 pieces per part number.
  • Belt tensioners, water pumps, idler pulleys, and kits: 10 pieces per part number.

Different part numbers cannot be combined to meet the MOQ.

Do you provide product samples?

Yes. Samples are normally charged. Complimentary samples may be offered to qualified business customers after we review their requirements. The customer is responsible for shipping costs in all cases.

How long does it take to dispatch an order?

In-stock orders can usually be dispatched within 3–4 days. Orders containing out-of-stock products generally require at least 7 days before dispatch. The final dispatch time also depends on the total order size and quantity. Shipping transit time is additional, and we will confirm the estimated schedule for each order.

What information should I send when requesting a quotation?

Please send the OE part number or product name, required quantity, vehicle details, engine model, and destination country. You can also include any packaging or other purchasing requirements in your inquiry.
