Minimum Charge
If the total value of the order is too low, A Minimum Charge of $89 CAN will be applicable to cover the general administration fees.
Response Time - Delays
Standard Delays = See list below Rush = double the price
| Test or Analysis | Standard Delays | Rush Delays |
| Mechanical, Metallography, Chemical | 3 to 5 working days | 1 to 2 working days |
| Chemical (sample < 3/4" x 3/4") | 4 to 6 working days | N/A |
Expertise - Failure Analysis, Turbine Blade Evaluation, Investigation, Metallurgical Process Optimization, Etc. - Expert fees (engineers) $170/hr CA.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Rush Delays are applicable only if you clearly specify it on you purchase order. Without written information the order will be treated as standard. In the case of Standard delays, never write "rush" on your P.O. - If you do so, the price will be doubled. Genitest reserves the right to refuse any order which is not feasible.
