Parts & Ordering
Once logged in to the Trade Site you can browse by category or use the dedicated multi-functional search box to find a part. Please use the Finding the Part You Need document to help you. If you know the Maddocks part number, simply enter it into the search box and you will be directed to the correct part. Otherwise you will need at least one of the following pieces of information to find a part.
- Manufacturer original part number
- Machine model number and brand
- Machine product code
- Detailed part description
Without any of this information, it will be extremely difficult to find the part you're looking for. We do not accept machine serial numbers on the trade site.
If you are trying to locate an Ametek motor you will need at least one of the following pieces of information.
- Motor number e.g. 116110-01
- Detailed specification description e.g. 3 Stage Tangential 5.7 inch, 240V, 1500W, complete with shell and tube
Yes. We sell a wide range of both genuine and pattern parts to suit all requirements.
'Out of Stock, but can be backordered' means that currently our stock level is zero, however more parts will be on order with our supplier. If you place an order for a part that displays this message, forthcoming stock will be allocated to orders on a first come, first served basis. This means that if you were the first customer to order the part after it went out of stock, you will be the first to be allocated stock when it arrives. Backorders will normally be dispatched as soon as the stock has arrived.
'Special Order : Non-returnable and can't be cancelled once ordered' means that we do not keep stock of the part on the shelf. Special order items are supplied on an ad hoc basis, meaning they are only placed on order with the supplier once we receive an order for them. We are unable to ascertain supplier stock levels until we place the part on order with them. Please note, special order items cannot be returned or cancelled once ordered as they are immediately placed on order with the supplier. Special order items cannot be refunded unless damaged and reported in accordance with our Terms & Conditions of Trade. Estimated time of arrival for special order items varies with supplier and part. Special order items can take anything between 48 hours and 4 weeks to arrive, and for special order Ametek motors will take between approximately 4 and 12 weeks. If you are in any doubt as to the expected lead time for a special order item, please contact us before you place the item on order.
If the supplier is out of stock, estimated time of arrival for the part may increase dramatically.
The 'Your Notes' text box allows you to enter your own information to appear on the delivery note which is included within your parcel. You can enter any text that you think will help you when your order is delivered but examples of information entered are your own part number, your own customers' order number/contact details and 'stock' or 'stk for general stock items or 'Spec' for specific customer requests.
If the 'No items found. You can Contact Us for assistance' message is displayed while searching for a part it could mean one of the following -
- You have entered an incorrect or incomplete manufacturer original part number, machine model number and brand or machine product code. Please check you have entered the correct information.
- We do not currently have the part in our system, but does not necessarily mean we cannot supply it. If this is the case, you can contact us to enquire about the part.
If you have entered the correct information in the search or other parts for the same machine are listed but not the part you're looking for, and if you have at least one of the pieces of information required to find a part (see What information do I need to find a part?) please contact us and we will attempt to find it for you. Yes. We have access to over 100,000 exploded diagrams for over 100 OEMs so if you are looking to identify a part please contact us and we will attempt to locate the diagram for you. We can also email or fax you the diagram to you so you can identify the exact part you require.
One of Maddocks' main aims is to deliver quality products at fair prices to all our customers. If you've seen an item elsewhere online, or have already been quoted at a better price then please contact us with our part number and your price and where else you've seen the product online, and their price. If possible include a link to the location of the part.
As we are a trade-only company, to protect our trade customers and their prices, in order to see your prices you must be logged in to the trade site.
Our minimum order value for any order is £10.00 (before VAT and shipping). Please ensure your order is over £10.00 (before VAT and shipping) before submitting it.
In most cases it is not possible to add to the same order once it has been submitted. We are able to enter the part on a new order and send both orders on the same day but you may be subject to a separate carriage charge. If you would like to order additional parts please contact us as soon as possible after submitting the initial order.
Your orders are processed for picking and packing as soon as they are submitted. Please contact us as soon as possible to correct any mistakes but please note it is not always possible to do so.
Please contact us within one hour to cancel an order in accordance with our Terms & Conditions of Trade. If your order has already been processed and invoiced it is not possible to cancel as it may have already been dispatched from our National Distribution Centre. Unless notified otherwise, all items that are in stock will be dispatched immediately provided your order is over our minimum order value. If you wish to hold an order until it's complete, please write 'Wait for order complete' in the 'Your Notes' text box of a stock item. If you require estimated delivery times for out of stock or special order items, please contact us. Unless notified before you place the order, backordered or special order items will be dispatched as soon as they arrive in our National Distribution Centre.
No. Carriage will only be applied once to your order. Any subsequent backorders dispatched will be carriage free.
If you discover a problem with your order, items have arrived damaged or items are missing please contact us within 3 days of receipt in accordance with our Terms & Conditions of Trade. Please contact us by phone or email if you have a question about, or an issue with, your order. Please ensure you have your order number, part number or exact date of order to hand. Without this information we won't be able to help you..
