Delivery

Our aim is to get your products to you as soon as possible, we work together with our couriers DPD, DHL and Palletways to ensure efficient delivery. Orders which are placed before 12:30am, with all items in stock, are usually delivered the following working day (delivery to the Highlands and Islands will be longer, please contact us for an accurate delivery time). In general orders with only partial stock available will ship as a single shipment once all items are ready. Although in some instances, at our discretion, part shipments will be made when more practical. (If you require a custom shipping schedule, please contact us for offline ordering.)

Customers in Ireland must supply a valid EC VAT number to be VAT exempt.

Please note that large items such as ovens and furnaces will be charged and shipped separately in accordance to costs below. We reserve the right to increase the delivery cost in cases where we suffer excessive charges from our courier. In these situations we will contact you before taking payment to ensure that you are happy to proceed.

Invoices

Invoices will be sent by email in PDF file format to the email address used when placing your order.
Webshop Account holders can specify a different email address or request invoice by post.

Availability

Estimated Availability is shown for most products and gives an estimate of how long it will take to reach you based on the known stock levels, which are updated daily. eg For items that are in stock you can expect to receive the product within '1 - 2 days' if you are in the UK (longer for orders to the Highlands and Islands, please contact us for an accurate delivery time). These are measured in normal working business days.

Calibration

Some products are available with UKAS calibration, giving you extra confidence in the product's measurement accuracy. The product comes with a UKAS calibration certificate, giving details of the actual test value and measured value of the product at each point of calibration.

These products are only available at the stated price with the specific stated calibration points. We can only offer our exceptional prices on calibrated items because of our automated procedures and the large quantities of items we calibrate, therefore these items are not available with different or additional calibration points, unless specifically stated otherwise.

If you require a product calibrated differently to those available on the TMS Webshop please contact us for a quotation to your requirements.

Please note for some items the actual calibration points may vary slightly in cases from the nominal calibration point. E.g. a nominal 250°C calibration may actually be carried out at 251.4°C.

For more information on our UKAS accredited calibration laboratory visit our Calibration page.

You will see the UKAS Calibration logo next products which are calibrated under our UKAS accredation, i.e. they come with a UKAS calibration certificate. Or within a seperate box with details, when it is optional:
