A15If you want our product in a size or version not listed in our catalogs, or need to get an item made by a Japanese manufacturer with no distributor in the US, send us the Special Request Form via on-line. Include information such as what the item is, how many you need, special requirements (in case of MISUMI items), and who the manufacturer is (in case of non-MISUMI items). Please include drawings if your explanation is difficult.

A16We can cross-reference some items. Contact our sales representative in your area refer to Office Locations or customer service for assistance.
Q17How long does it take to get a quote?
A17We usually send you a quote the same day (or get back to you with information if there is a problem) for standard MISUMI items. For special items, allow at least 24 hours for a quote to be prepared. Note that requests received after our business hours(Monday to Friday, 7:00 am ~ 9:00 pm ET) will not be processed until the following day.
Q18How do I request a quote online?
Q19How do I place an order? Is there a special form to use?
A19You can place an order by using our on-line order form. You can also call us to place an order. For off-line orders, there is no particular form, but please include the following: Company name, PO number, Billing address, Shipping address, Ship-to attention, your Phone numbers, Product(s) to be ordered, Quantity, Shipping method (UPS Ground, Red, etc.), and whether you want all the items shipped together if the items you are ordering have different shipping dates.
Q20I did not get an SO Confirmation for my order. How can I make sure that my order has been processed?
A20You should receive your SO Confirmation on the same day, if your PO number is received during our business hours. If you do not get your SO Confirmation the same day please contact Customer Service. DO NOT send your order again to avoid duplicate orders.
Q21I configured the part numbers on your site, but the quotation says they are bad part numbers.
A21If you are using the numbers used in the CAD file you downloaded, (ex. SFJ10_120 or MISUMI_lsrc_r40) replace "_" with "-." Also "MISUMI_" should be deleted. (ex. SFJ10-120 or LSRC-R40.) Save part numbers that you configure in "My Components List" to avoid these mistakes, rather than your CAD application Software.
