Frequently asked questions
Orders, payment, shipping and purchasing for schools.
Orders and payment
Can I add our school’s purchase order number?
Yes, it will appear on the pro forma invoice and on the final invoice. Payment is by bank transfer before shipping, against the pro forma, and we hold the order for 7 calendar days. If your school can only pay after receiving the goods, write to us before ordering.
How do I pay?
By bank transfer, before shipping. After you order, we email you the pro forma invoice within one working day with the amount and our bank details. If payment doesn’t arrive within 7 calendar days, the order is cancelled at no cost.
Do prices include VAT?
Yes, all prices include 21% Spanish VAT and the invoice shows it separately. If you buy as a school or company from another EU country with a valid VAT number, the order is VAT-free (intra-Community supply).
Can I get an invoice in the name of a company or school?
Yes. Choose “School or company” on the order form and enter the company name and tax ID.
Shipping
How long does delivery take?
We tell you the delivery time for your order with the pro forma invoice. In any case, we deliver within 30 calendar days of receiving payment.
How much does shipping cost?
To mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands, €6.90, free over €150.00. To the rest of the EU, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland, €14.90.
Will I have to pay customs?
Not within the EU. For deliveries to the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland, the recipient may have to pay customs duties, import taxes and the courier’s handling fee.
Do you ship to the Canary Islands, Ceuta or Melilla?
Not for now: shipping there requires customs formalities.
How is glassware protected?
Glassware travels packed piece by piece. If something arrives broken, let us know as soon as possible, ideally within 48 hours of delivery, with a photo: we’ll replace it free of charge. This doesn’t limit your 3-year legal guarantee.
How do I return a product?
If you buy as a consumer, you have 14 calendar days from delivery to withdraw without giving any reason: use the “Withdraw from contract here” function or write to us with your order reference.
Products
Are the reagents hazardous?
No. We only sell reagents that are not classified as hazardous under the CLP Regulation, so they can be stored and shipped without special requirements.
What glass is the glassware made of?
Almost all of it is borosilicate glass 3.3, and each product page states the material (the graduated pipettes, for example, are soda-lime glass). Borosilicate can be heated on a gauze or hot plate and withstands moderate changes in temperature, but not sudden ones. Volumetric ware (graduated cylinders, volumetric flasks, burettes and pipettes) and Büchner flasks must not be heated.
Do you have technical data sheets?
The specifications of each product are on its page. If you need more information for a purchasing file, write to us.
Schools
Do you quote for equipping a whole laboratory?
Yes. Send us your list of equipment or the number of workstations and we’ll prepare a fixed quote with bundle prices.
Do you offer volume discounts?
School bundles already have wholesale prices. For larger quantities, ask us for a quote.
