Frequently asked questions

Commercial and technical questions, answered with the specifics rather than the sales version. Where a figure depends on the exact product or configuration, the answer says so instead of guessing.

Ordering & Quotation

What is the minimum order quantity?

One piece. We supply single units for evaluation, spares and pilot builds as readily as we supply production quantities. There is no minimum order value to qualify for a quotation.

How do I request a quotation?

Send us the product type, the model or part number if you have one, the quantity and any technical requirements through the request form, by email to sales@crcelectric.com, or on WhatsApp. We reply with availability, lead time and terms.

Why are prices not shown on the website?

Prices for industrial instrumentation depend on the exact configuration, the quantity and the delivery terms, so a list price would be misleading. Every quotation is prepared against the specification you send us.

Can you quote against a specification rather than a model number?

Yes. If you can describe the medium, the range, the process connection and the required output, we will match the requirement to a suitable instrument and quote it. A specification-based enquiry is often faster than searching for a part number.

Lead Time, Payment & Shipping

How long does delivery take?

Items held in stock are dispatched within 48 hours of order confirmation. Customized specifications are produced to order and typically ship within 2 to 10 days. Transit time then depends on the shipping method and destination.

What are the payment terms?

For in-stock items, payment in full before shipment. For customized items, a 30% deposit with the balance payable before shipment. Terms can be discussed for repeat orders.

Which trade terms and ports do you work with?

FOB and CIF terms. Shipments leave from Ningbo or Shanghai, and we will confirm the most suitable port and schedule for your destination when quoting.

Can you supply the export documentation?

We will confirm the specific document set required for your destination at quotation stage, including commercial invoice, packing list and the certificates applicable to the goods. Tell us what your customs broker requires and we will confirm what can be provided.

Products & Customization

Do you hold the goods in stock?

Our model is stock-based for standard specifications, with sourcing against the wider supply network for other items. Availability for the exact configuration you need is confirmed at quotation stage, which is why we ask for the specification rather than listing stock online.

Can instruments be supplied to a customized specification?

Yes. Customized ranges, extended specifications and optional interfaces are available on a produced-to-order basis, with a lead time of 2 to 10 days. Send the requirement and we will confirm feasibility and price.

Are you the manufacturer?

We are an industrial instrumentation supplier and sourcing partner. Our role is to identify and supply the correct instrument from qualified manufacturing partners and to hold traceability on what we ship. That means we can offer several technically distinct options for the same duty instead of only what one production line makes.

What technical documents can you provide?

Datasheets, wiring information and compliance documents are available for the items we quote. Because these vary by product, request the documentation you need alongside the quotation and we will confirm what is available.

Quality & Technical Support

How do you ensure the goods are correct?

Goods are traceable to their production batch, and third-party inspection (SGS) and compliance documents are available on request. If a specification must be verified before shipment, tell us at quotation stage and we will arrange for the relevant documents to accompany the order.

Can you help select the right instrument?

Yes. Describe the medium, the range, the process connection, the environment and the output you need, and we will propose suitable options with the reasoning behind them. Technical selection support is part of the service, not a separate charge.

What if the instrument does not suit the application?

Contact us with the details. Where a specification has been misapplied we will work through the alternatives, and where the issue is a product fault the remedy is handled under the terms agreed with your order. We confirm the applicable terms at quotation stage.

Do you provide certification for the instruments?

Certification depends on the specific product. Tell us which approvals your application requires and we will confirm which are available for the instrument being quoted, rather than assuming a standard set applies.

Need a quotation or a specification check?

Send us the requirement - model, range, quantity and any technical constraints - and we will come back with availability, lead time and terms. Minimum order quantity is 1 pc.
