5 things to know before ordering electrical enclosures online

In recent years, the industrial components sector has also seen a strong development of e-commerce platforms.

Ordering electrical enclosures online, stainless steel or otherwise, is now a real possibility for many electricians and planners, but it is not always easy to find reliable, fast and technically correct solutions.

Before relying on a site to purchase electrical enclosures, there are certain aspects to be carefully evaluated.

1. Real availability and delivery times

Many platforms show apparently available products, which in reality require long production times. It is important to check:

  • Whether the product is really in stock
  • What the actual shipping time is
  • What is the degree of delivery reliability

A well-structured e-commerce guarantees transparency on these aspects.

2. Customisation: how configurable is it really?

Not all online configurators are the same. Some only allow a choice between preset variants, others allow real technical customisation (dimensions, materials, type of working).

For those who work with well-defined technical specifications, the possibility of configuring their framework independently is a great advantage... if the system is well made.

3. Technical assistance: it is needed, and it must be clear

When purchasing electrical enclosures, technical support is crucial, especially when it comes to customised configurations. Some platforms only offer generic contact forms or chatbots. Good support on the other hand:

  • It is immediate, to clarify technical doubts
  • Is telephonic, to speak to an expert technician
  • Does not slow down the purchasing process

 

4. Technical documentation: what is provided?

An often underestimated point. Those who design electrical installations need:

  • Complete technical data sheets
  • 2D drawings for mechanical design
  • Compliance with CE and IP standards

Lack of these documents can lead to delays in installation or certification.

5. Supplier reliability

Finally, the key factor: how reliable is the partner from whom I buy?

In the case of electrical enclosures, you need a supplier:

  • With manufacturing experience
  • Who knows the requirements of those working in the field
  • Who guarantees construction quality and time reliability
