Given the increased volume of orders in Q4, along with busy suppliers and couriers, we highly recommend placing your orders well in advance to ensure timely delivery and avoid any unexpected delays, such as those that may occur in the purchasing department.
Please, include enough time to build and optimize the list of compounds to be ordered, negotiate favorable terms with suppliers, and do the paperwork required by your organization internally.
To provide you with a clear timeline for your orders, please consider the following deadlines:
- October 25th: Ideal for orders exceeding 1000 compounds.
- November 15th: Recommended for orders up to a thousand compounds.
- December 2nd: Suited for daily small orders ranging from a few to a few dozen on-shelf compounds.
These timelines are structured to provide a clear roadmap yet may change to accommodate the unique aspects of your order—be it delivery before Christmas vs. before New Year, shipping this year for next year’s delivery, or requiring reformatting.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us at sales@molport.com with your compound list or project details. Our dedicated team will work closely with you to ensure a smooth and efficient ordering process.
