Out-of-Stock Materials
Orders for out-of-stock SRMs/RMs are generally filled with the renewal reference materials when available. A notification list is used to contact customers when the reference material (or its renewal) is again available. Upon notification, customers are told the price of the material and are asked to contact the sales office if they still wish to purchase it. |
Prices nist-quoted for SRMs/RMs are in U.S. dollars ($), and are published in the catalog supplement (price list). The prices shown therein are subject to change without notice and orders will be invoiced for the prices in effect at the time of shipment. Shipping and handling charges for regular and special (for SRMs in restricted categories) shipments are also applied to all orders. These charges will be added to the invoices. |
In accordance with U.S. Treasury regulations, late charges will be levied for each 30/45-day period, or portion thereof, that an invoice payment is overdue. |
Proforma Invoices (Price Quotation) A request for nist-quote is available for each SRM requested and includes the shipping cost. Please email srminfo@nist.gov to submit a request. |
