Account
How do I create an account?
Go to the registration page and fill in the required fields. You can register as a private customer, as a business not registered with VIES or as a business registered with VIES.
Can I register as a business?
Yes. When registering, enter your company name and your VAT number. Business accounts must be enabled by us before you can buy without VAT: see the next question.
When is my business account enabled?
After you register, we check your VAT number on the official EU VIES website. We do this from Monday to Friday, so enabling your account may take some time. When your account is enabled, we send you a confirmation email: from then on, if your VAT number is registered with VIES, you see prices VAT excluded.
If the check shows a problem, we let you know and temporarily enable your account with the VAT of your country (OSS), like a private customer.
How do I log in?
Enter your email and password on the login page.
I forgot my password, what do I do?
On the login page use the forgotten password function: you receive the instructions by email.
How do I update my details?
In My account choose "update your details". These details are used for your invoices, so please keep them correct.
How do I check my orders?
In My account you can see your previous orders.
Orders
Are the products really available?
Yes. Availability is updated in real time when you add products to the cart, and the products in your cart are available for quick delivery.
I cannot find a product, what can I do?
Write to [email protected] with the product code or a description and the quantity you need: we will check for you. If you have a list of several items, request a quote.
Can I change or cancel an order?
Yes, at no extra cost, as long as we have not yet accepted the order. Write to [email protected] with your order number as soon as possible.
Are prices the same as on stockelettrico.it?
Not always. Prices on stockelettrico.com include higher operating and cross-border costs for orders within the European market.
I live in Italy: can I order here?
We ship from stockelettrico.com to EU countries outside Italy. For deliveries in Italy please use www.stockelettrico.it.

If I pay by bank transfer, when does my order ship?
Your order ships once the transfer has been received. Confirming a bank transfer takes 1 to 3 working days, so for urgent orders we suggest PayPal or credit card.
Is paying online safe?
Yes. We never see or store your PayPal or card data: you enter it directly on the secure pages of PayPal or Nexi XPay.
Shipping
Where do you ship?
To all 26 European Union countries outside Italy. We cannot ship to non-EU destinations, including the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Norway.
How long does delivery take?
Orders processed before 1:00 PM are dispatched the same day, later orders on the next working day. Delivery takes 2 to 5 working days.
How much does shipping cost?
It depends on the destination country and you see it in the cart before confirming the order. All rates are on the Shipping page.
Do heavy or bulky items cost more to ship?
They may. For heavy, bulky or oversized items, such as cable drums, trunking or distribution boards, and for remote areas or small islands, the courier may apply a surcharge. We contact you before dispatch with the exact amount: you can accept it or cancel the order and receive a full refund.
How do I track my parcel?
When your parcel leaves our warehouse you receive an email with the tracking code.
The courier could not deliver, what do I do?
The tracking will show the parcel as "on hold" at the nearest courier branch. Write to us with your order number and we will help you.
Can I collect the goods in person?
No, collection is not available: our registered office in Modena hosts offices only, it is not a shop. We always ship by courier.
Returns and warranty
Can I return a product?
Yes. As a private customer you can withdraw within 14 days of receiving the goods, without giving a reason. Write to [email protected] with your order number, the items, your decision to withdraw and the IBAN for the refund. Full details on the Returns page.
Who pays for the return shipping?
Return costs are paid by the customer, unless the goods are faulty or not conforming.
When do I get my refund?
Within 14 days from when you tell us you are withdrawing. We may wait until we receive the goods back, or until you show us you have sent them.
I received a wrong or faulty item, what do I do?
Write to [email protected] with your order number and the wrong or faulty items. Once the request is accepted, we arrange the free collection by courier. After checking the goods we replace them or refund the full order amount, delivery costs included.
What warranty do the products have?
For private customers, the legal guarantee of conformity lasts 2 years from delivery. Business customers must report defects within 8 days of discovering them.
VAT and invoices
Which VAT do I pay?
If you buy as a private customer or as a business not registered with VIES, you pay the VAT of your country, under the EU One-Stop Shop (OSS) scheme. The price you see is the same in every EU country: the VAT included in it is calculated at the rate of your country and shown on the invoice.
My business is registered with VIES: do I pay VAT?
No, once we have enabled your business account after checking your VAT number on VIES. Businesses registered with VIES see prices VAT excluded and receive an invoice without VAT: you account for the VAT in your own country, according to its law.
Is VAT included in the shipping costs?
Yes, the rates on the Shipping page include VAT. Businesses registered with VIES are charged the net amount.
Do I receive an invoice?
Yes. The invoice uses the details you entered when registering, so please check that they are correct. You can change them in My account.
Can I get a copy of an invoice?
Yes, write to [email protected] with your order number.
Write to us: we reply by email.
