Prices, Lead-time and Upgraded production Priority

"Standard price" in an offer or confirmation refer unless other stated in an offer to 6 full weeks (Monday to Friday) where the parts are available in Tantalum Technologies´ production. Shorter lead-time (down to 2 weeks) may be obtained by upgrading the priority of the order according to the table below. Priority production may be subject to availability and production time shorter than 2 weeks cannot be guaranteed. Changed production priority will not be valid until confirmed by Tantalum Technologies. If a certain delivery time is essential we recommend to fix the out-shipping date to secure on-time delivery even if in-shipping is delayed.

Fixed (promised) out-shipping date by automatic priority upgrade

If you need to meet a certain delivery (out-shipping) time, you may fix the out-shipping date. Tantalum Technologies will then automatically upgrade you order priority (if necessary) to meet schedule even if the parts arrive later than expected at Tantalum Technologies (due to e.g. delays by you or the carrier). Additional cost for upgraded priority will be claimed by invoicing. Please note that less than 2 full production weeks can normally not be guaranteed.

Calculation of production time. In- and out-shipping routines

Stated production time (lead-time) for tantalum coating or other service made on customer parts refer to full weeks (Monday to Friday) in production. In- and out-shipping occurs Friday noon. Parts arriving by Express carrier (e.g. DHL, UPS or FeedEx) any time Friday will be accepted as delivered Friday noon.

Example: A part for coating is received during week 10 (before Friday noon) agreed to be produced with "3 weeks priority" in production will leave Tantalum Technologies no later than Friday in week 13. If the part is late (e.g. due to delay by the carrier) and first arrive Monday morning it may not leave Tantalum Technologies before Friday in week 14. Out-shipping Friday in week 13 is still possible but will require upgrade to "2 weeks priority" in production. If you have chosen to "fix" the out-shipping to Friday week 13, Tantalum Technologies will upgrade production priority automatically.

Shipping, Customer pick-up and "Full Service"

By default Tantalum Technologies used DHL Express for out-shipping tantalum coated parts. You may in addition choose to use Tantalum Technologies DHL Express Import account when shipping your parts to Tantalum Technologies, where you notice DHL when your parts are ready for pickup. Shipping cost will be invoiced by Tantalum Technologies.

In addition to "pick-up",  we offer "Full Service" option, including pick-up from address, delivery to address and where we are taking care of duty handling and other paperwork related to shipping. Full Service costs will be invoiced by Tantalum Technologies.

Prices for Pick-Up, Delivery, and Full Service (US costumers) (pdf - 30Kb)

DHL offer an average on-time rate of approx. 98%. Tantalum Technologies do not take responsibility for any delays when parts are outside Tantalum Technologies facilities. To minimize effects of any unexpected delays we recommend to ad day to the transit time suggested by the carrier.
