Customer Service FAQs

Ordering

Can I buy via the Megazyme website if there is a distributor in my country?
Purchasing through your local Distributor can have a number of benefits, such as a local contact number, local language, the possibility of reduced freight charges and simplified customs procedures. If for any reason you prefer to purchase directly from Megazyme you may do so.
Can I order by telephone or fax?
We have a fully integrated operating system which links our web database directly with DHL and other internal databases. This means that all orders must be entered online. For further information, see ordering.
Can I use a PO (Purchase Order) number when ordering online?
When placing an online order there is the option to enter a PO number on the 'complete order' page in the shopping process if required.
Can I cancel or change my order before shipping?
There is no option to modify your order via the website. For changes please contact Customer Service. Orders that have already been dispatched cannot be modified or cancelled.
How much does it cost to ship my order?
Shipping charges are calculated based on the total number of items ordered and shipping destination. Shipping charges will be clearly displayed in the checkout screen prior to final order confirmation. For further details, visit our shipping and delivery page.
Can I purchase an individual kit component separately to the kit?
All of our kits are sold with enough of each component to allow the user to perform the number of assays as stated on the product page on the Megazyme website. For this reason, we do not usually offer individual components for sale separate to the kits. If you have further questions regarding the individual sale of kit components, please contact Customer Service.
