How can I see if an item is in stock or not?
All items that you are able to put in your
shopping basket are in stock. If an item has run out of
stock, this will be explicitly indicated and you will not
be able to put it in your shopping basket.
-
What is the expected lead time before you ship the products?
As the webshop is not operated full-time and not our
main business, we typically prepare shipments once per week. So the
typical maximum lead time until we ship your order is one week.
You will receive a shipment notification e-mail once your order has been
shipped.
-
What is the expected delivery time?
As the products in the web-shop are low-cost items,
and our lead time is up to one week anyway, we do not offer shipping by
express as a standard option. Rather, the products will be shipped by
registered mail or by regular postal parcel service. DHL in the
shipping options refers to the German Post, not to the internationally
recognized DHL Express subsidiary!
Delivery times vary depending on your location, but reflect the time a
regular airmail letter or postal package will take from Germany to your
location.
According to the Deutsche Post Website, the below table represents
typically expected delivery times to a couple of example countries:
| Australia | 6-9 working days |
| Brazil | 12-16 working days |
| Canada | 3-6 working days |
| China | 6-14 working days |
| France | 2-3 working days |
| India | 6-10 working days |
| Israel | 6-10 working days |
| New Zealand | 4-8 working days |
| Russia | 8-18 working days |
| South Korea | 8-12 working days |
| South Africa | 8-11 working days |
| Taiwan | 6-12 working days |
| USA | 3-7 working days |
sysmocom is just reproducing the above information for your convenience.
The stated times are by no means a guarantee that delivery will happen
within that time frame. More up-to-date information for all countries
can be found at
Deutsche Post (in German).
-
Why am I not getting a quick response to my e-mail?
As indicated above, the webshop is not sysmocoms main
business, and we only run it as a low-priority task next to lots of
other work. Therefore it is quite normal that you might not get a
same-day response.
Furthermore, please consider that we are located in Germany, which might
be in a completely different timezone as yourself, and which has its own
set of public holidays, etc.
We respond to e-mail inquiries as quickly as possible.
-
Do you offer non-paypal based payment options
Yes, we can offer payment by wire transfer to our
German bank account. Please note that any international bank transfer
charges must be paid by you.
If you would like to use this option, please first put all your products
in the shopping basket, go to the check out process and send us an
e-mail to webshop@sysmocom.de indicating the order/basket number.
-
My company requires a formal Quote / Order proccess
Please note that our low product prices are only
valid for purchases made in the webshop, permitting us to efficiently
process it.
If you require a manual quote, PO, proforma invoice, etc., we will
have to charge you for the additional overhead this causes on our
side.
Also, this process will introduce additional lead time, so please
use the fully automatic webshop order process whenever possible.
-
Can I reach you by phone?
Sorry, we are a small team, all engineeres and no
sales, and typically too busy to take phone calls regarding the
webshop. If absolutely neccessarry, please describe in detail
why a phone call is needed and we can arrange for a scheduled
call by e-mail to webshop@sysmocom.de
-
I own a product bought in the shop and have a technical question
Many of our products are open hardware products and
fully documented at their respective page, e.g.
http://simtrace.osmocom.org/
for the SIMtrace product. Please always check the project pages first,
then attempt to contact the respective project mailing list.
In case you are unable to resolve your question that way, please
contact support@sysmocom.de, which will create a support ticket.
-
I cannot find the sysmoBTS or sysmoBSC products in the shop
Please contact sales@sysmocom.de for our professional product line.
-
Do you ship to $MY_COUNTRY?
Most likely: Yes. We generally ship to all countries unless it is legally impossible because your country is subject to an embargo by Germany or the European Union.
-
What about customs fees / import?
If you're outside the European Union, then importing goods from Germany is most likely subject to processing by your local customs office. They may charge you applicable import tariffs, import VAT and/or other fees. Payment of such fees is the responsibility of the importer (that means you, if you order from our webshop or any other shop abroad).
