Ordering  Information

How to order

Use the shopping cart to select items desired.  When completed - select "Checkout" and fill in all required information.  All orders are then processed as request for quotations.  GPE will verify the request for product availability and shipping charges and will return a quotation via email.  The quotation will include payment information required to complete the transaction.  If you do not hear back from GPE within 4-days - please email.  It is possible the original request may have been overlooked.  Also, check check your spam filter - these are responsible for vast majority of missing emails.

Shipping Charges, fees and Taxes

All prices for components and assemblies exclude shipping charges.  USPS mail is used for all shipping. 

The shipping charges provided by the shopping cart are estimates and include shipping and handling charges.  Actual charges may vary from what is presented by the website checkout process.

Insurance is not available to all destinations.  If requested, GPE will verify insurance availability after completion of checkout phase.

For US customers -- Shipping charges are $2.75 and up depending on weight of order.  Please use the shipping cart to determine shipping charges.  If your shipping charge is in excess of the flat rate fee (currently $9.15 plus $0.30 handling fee) then you most probably qualify for flat rate discounted shipping.  Select Priority shipping for shipping method and Great Plains Electronics will verify if your order qualifies for this flat rate method.

Occasionally, I will allow NET-30 accounts for existing customers.  NET-30 accounts must be paid within 30-days.  If a payment is late and exceeds 90 days from delivery date, the account will be charged 10% ($10 minimum) per month maintenance fees until the account is paid.  Also, non-paying orders may be liable for paying fees due to use of collection agencies.  Worst case for non-payers - you may also be stuck with legal fees and punitive damages if your case is taken to small claims court.

Sales Tax: Nebraska residents must add 7% sales tax.
Minimum Order: $5.00.

Electrostatic discharge sensitive (ESDS) components notification

Most integrated circuits, transistors, and diodes can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD or static electricity).  Some components are far more susceptible to ESD damage than others -- the most sensitive devices include CMOS type integrated circuits.  All ESDS components are handled and stored with utmost care (we adhere to US Military standard MIL-STD-1686), are shipped in static shielding bags, and are marked as static sensitive.  To ensure functionality of these components after you receive them -- we recommend use of static dissipative wrist straps whenever possible.

Quality of sold components

Unless otherwise specified, all components sold are unused. Due to the fact that some components are no longer made, certain components are provided as NOS or New Old Stock. The NOS parts may be several years old and may have minor imperfections due to extended storage but are still unused.
