7-DAY TURNAROUND FAQS & CONDITIONS

How do you measure the 7 days?
We measure the 7 days as “business days” excluding weekends and Holidays.

When does “the clock start & stop ticking”?
The day Macron receives a valid Purchase Order from our Distributors or in special cases, directly from the end user, starts the clock and it stops the day we ship the order.

What is a valid Purchase Order?
The MSA part number and associated accessories are configured properly and are part of the “Ships Fast” Program [look for the “Ships Fast” icon]. Most importantly, the Motor manufacturer and model number to be used must be indicated on the PO [catalog cut sheet is acceptable as long as required information is clearly marked]. Any errors will delay the shipment and void the “Ships Fast” offer.

What about shipping?
Packaging is included. Shipping charges are pre-pay and add, EXW Croydon, PA 19021. Carrier depends on customer preference or best way as determined by Macron Traffic department. Some actuators requested will be quite long and will generally exceed UPS & FedEx weight and girth limitations, in these cases a common carrier will be used.

Can I order more than one “Ships Fast” actuator?
Yes, any volume up to 10 units may be ordered on any one Purchase Order.

How do you do this?
Here is our “Ships Fast” process:

Day 1

  • We enter the Distributor order that was placed for your actuator.
  • We launch our work orders for actuator build & motor adaptor plate machining to match your motor selection.

Day 2 to 5

  • We assemble actuator and any accessories ordered [gearboxes, sensor kits].
  • We schedule carrier pick-up.

Day 7

  • We inspect, package and ship the product.

Why do we think this is Industry leading?
Our survey of Distributors indicates that no belt driven Linear actuator manufacturer offers the configuration flexibility across a broad product style up to a nominal 6 meters length in 7 days as Macron can with a gearbox and sensors.
