Pricing

How is the "You Saved" value calculated? What do the icons next to the list price represent? If shopping with a source code or buying sale or clearance items, you may have noticed an 'Amount Saved' row under the product total in your shopping cart. The 'Amount Saved' is the difference between our regular product price and our promotion price. Promotion prices can be achieved in cases of standard product sales, source code based sales and customer based contract pricing. Special pricing in the cart is denoted with one of several icons:

Icon Meaning
  [Contract Icon]
Contract Price: A discounted price as a result of your company's contract with MCM Electronics.
  [Sale/Clearance/Promo Icon]
Promotional Price: A discounted price as a result of a MCM Electronics product promotion.

If an item is eligible for two or more types of discounts, the lowest price will always be displayed.

Do I get the promotional price when I purchase online? The prices you find on the MCM website do reflect when products are on sale or promotion, however source code based pricing is only displayed once a source code is entered in the shopping cart. You can compare the prices you see in the shopping cart with the promotion flyer to ensure you are getting the correct prices.
There are a few products, however, that we cannot discount because of franchise agreements with the manufacturer. The promotional price will not be applied to those products. You'll only see the standard price.
Discounts cannot be stacked. If you are receiving a promotional discount you will not get other discounts such as corporate service agreement or website specific discounts. Different discounts take precedence depending on your company's agreement with MCM.

How do I use my source code to receive a discount? In the shopping cart, type in the code in the Source Code field and click "(Apply)". Please note that source codes are case sensitive. You'll see discounted prices for all applicable items in the Price column.
NOTE: Source code discount applies to the first price-break quantity only. Discount cannot be combined with other offers, promotions, quantity discounts, or contract pricing. Contractual considerations with a small number of manufacturers may reduce or prevent a source code discount on selected items. Special order items are not subject to a source code discount.

Why are online prices different from the prices in the paper catalog? The online price of a product is often different from the catalog price for two reasons:

• If your company has a corporate service agreement with MCM and you are logged in to the website, you will see prices that are set by the agreement, which are generally lower than the list price in the catalog.
• During the year, product prices fluctuate due to market changes. Since the catalog is only printed once a year it does not reflect these price changes. We reserve the right to change prices or product availability without notice.

Is pricing different between domestic and international orders? No. We offer the same product prices for domestic and international orders. However, shipping and handling charges tend to be higher for international orders due to longer shipping distances and more complex shipping document requirements.
