Is there an online discount in the B2B shop?

Yes, you will receive a 3% discount on the value of goods (plus VAT) for orders placed directly via the online shop, subject to any exceptions or special regulations.

This online discount does not apply to orders placed outside the web shop (e.g. by email only).

Can I schedule an order?

Yes, appointments can be made for binding orders up to 6 months in advance.

Please note:

  • Cancellations or postponements of agreed dates are generally not possible.
  • We are happy to consider early delivery on a case-by-case basis.
  • Scheduled orders cannot be placed via the online shop and are therefore not eligible for online discounts or discount codes.

For scheduled orders, please contact order@mag-kabel.de or info@mag-kabel.de.

Tip: For series or follow-up orders, we can plan recurring call-offs together to provide optimal support for your project logistics.

Can I also order outside the web shop (e.g. by email)?

Yes, orders can also be placed outside the web shop. However, please note:

  • We cannot offer standardised flat-rate shipping for orders placed outside the web shop – shipping costs are calculated individually based on the amount of work involved.
  • Online discounts (e.g. 3% webshop discount or discount codes) only apply to orders placed directly in the shop.

For cost reasons, we recommend placing orders directly via the online shop whenever possible.

Are there graduated prices or project conditions?

We offer graduated prices for many items, which are displayed directly in the shop. Individual conditions can be agreed for larger projects, rollouts or OEM deliveries.

Please contact us with your planned quantities. Together we will find a suitable solution for your project business.

3. Shipping, delivery & minimum quantity surcharge

How much are the shipping costs within Germany?

The following applies to webshop orders within Germany:

  • Parcel shipping up to 399 kg: DHL, 1–2 working days, free delivery
  • From 400 kg: freight forwarder, free delivery

You can find details in our Shipping & Small quantity surcharge .

How much are the shipping costs to other EU countries?

For many EU countries (e.g. AT, LU, DK, NL, BE, PL, FR, ES, IT), we charge a flat shipping rate of €6.50 for webshop orders.

A different flat rate applies to other countries (e.g. Czechia, Slovenia, Portugal). Please refer to the Shipping & Small Order Surcharge page for the current terms and conditions.

Is there a small order surcharge or minimum order value?

There is no fixed minimum order value within the EU. However, orders with a goods value of up to €40.00 are subject to a small quantity surcharge of €9.00.

For overseas deliveries, a minimum order value of €250.00 (net, excluding shipping) applies.

How quickly are orders delivered?

Within Germany, items in stock are usually shipped so that delivery can be made on the next working day (DHL) (without guarantee, depending on the parcel service).

For deliveries to other European countries, delivery times vary depending on the country and shipping service provider.

4. Payment methods & invoices

What payment methods are available?
  • Customers in Germany: Payment on account (subject to verification and approval).
  • International customers: Prepayment or PayPal.
  • International customers can apply to purchase on account after individual review.

We reserve the right to reject or adjust certain payment methods in individual cases.

Will I receive an invoice with VAT shown?

Yes, you will receive a proper invoice with all the necessary details. Where applicable, German VAT (currently 19%) will be shown.

For intra-Community deliveries within the EU, the applicable VAT regulations apply (e.g. reverse charge procedure with a valid VAT ID number).

5. Products, availability & custom-made products

How can I tell if an item is in stock?

In the item view, you will see:

  • the status "Available: Immediately" for goods in stock
  • the stock level in units
  • any notes such as "Available: on request (no delivery date)"

Our B2B shop displays stock levels in real time so that you can plan your projects reliably.

What does "Available: on request" mean?

"Available: on request" means that the item is currently not regularly available from stock or is listed as a special item.

In these cases, we will review your enquiry individually – for example, with regard to remaining stock, alternative items or possible new procurement.

What can I do if I need a different length, colour or plug combination?

For many power cables, data cables and adapters, we offer custom-made and OEM assemblies – e.g. different cable lengths, special colours, customer-specific plug combinations or country-specific designs.

You can find more information on our pageCustomised products for industry and trade.

What are the minimum quantities for customised products?

We generally produce customised cable assemblies and OEM solutions for medium-sized series, e.g. from approx. 500 pieces or a corresponding order value.

For specific projects (mechanical engineering, medical technology, furniture construction, IT/network technology, retail, etc.), we will be happy to advise you individually on minimum quantities, technical possibilities and delivery models.

Can I receive samples or advance samples?

For certain projects, it may be useful to provide samples or advance samples. We will check on a case-by-case basis whether and to what extent a sample can be provided.

Please contact us directly with your project enquiry.

6. Returns, complaints & goodwill

Do commercial customers have a right of withdrawal?

No. As we only supply to businesses within the meaning of Section 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB), our customers do not have a statutory right of withdrawal as in the B2C sector.

Regardless of this, we will consider goodwill solutions on a case-by-case basis – especially in the event of incorrect orders or project changes.

Under what conditions is a return possible as a gesture of goodwill?

A return as a gesture of goodwill (without defect) is only possible with our prior express approval and does not happen automatically.

The following conditions may apply, among others:

  • Minimum restocking fee of 15% of the net value of the goods
  • Goods in perfect condition and in their original packaging
  • Presentation of delivery note and/or invoice

Custom-made products and items that are not regularly in stock are generally excluded from exchange.

How do I proceed in the event of a complaint?

In the event of a complaint, please contact us with a brief description of the fault, the relevant item number, the quantity and, if possible, pictures of the problem.

Send your complaint to order@mag-kabel.de or info@mag-kabel.de. We will review the matter as quickly as possible and agree on the next steps with you.

7. Compliance, certificates & documents

Where can I find RoHS, REACH, WEEE and other compliance statements?

All important declarations, certificates and compliance statements can be found centrally on our Information, Forms and Declarations page.

There you will find documents on RoHS, REACH, WEEE, conflict minerals, quality management, social standards and certificates from our manufacturing plants available for download.

Does MAG sign individual supplier forms or its own declarations?

As a matter of principle, we cannot sign or separately confirm any external, customer-specific declarations or forms.

Instead, we provide our standardised declarations and certificates transparently on the overview page mentioned above. This gives you all the relevant information about our compliance and quality standards.

Is MAG a member of amfori BSCI?

Yes, MAG GmbH is a member of amfori BSCI and is therefore committed to socially responsible corporate management.

Details of our commitment to working conditions, human rights and environmental protection can also be found on the Information, Forms and Declarations page and in the Sustainability and Environmental Protection overview.

8. BIS certification for India

What do I need to know about BIS certification for India?

The BIS certificate of our previous manufacturing partner for India expired on 18 July 2025. As there are currently no renewals for certain manufacturers, there may be restrictions on deliveries to the Indian market.

A detailed description of the situation and possible solutions can be found on our information page on BIS certification.

Does the BIS situation also affect power cables and adapters for India?

Depending on the product group and intended use, specific requirements and certifications (including BIS) may be relevant for the Indian market. Whether an item is affected depends on the specific product group and the planned import.

We have summarised the current classification and our options for action here: https://www.mag-kabel.de/de/info/bis-zertifizierung-1.html

If you have a specific project or item number, please send it to us at info@mag-kabel.de or order@mag-kabel.de – we will check availability and alternatives at short notice.

9. Vouchers & discount codes

How and where do I redeem vouchers or discount codes?
  • Vouchers and discount codes can be entered in the shopping basket at www.mag-kabel.de.
  • They can only be redeemed during the specified promotional period.
  • The code must be entered before completing the order; subsequent crediting is not possible.
  • Online discount codes cannot be redeemed for scheduled orders (e.g. with a delivery date in the future).

10. Product feed (CSV/TXT)

Is there a product feed (CSV) for the product master, prices, stock and images?

Yes. We provide an hourly updated product feed (CSV/TXT) via HTTP download. This gives you access to essential item data such as item number, stock, price, description and image URLs.

Note: The structure of this feed may differ slightly from the previous format.

Stock level: A value such as 60,000 corresponds to 60 items (thousand separator/formatting).

Options:

  • Automated updating of prices and stock levels in ERP/merchandise management, PIM or database
  • Supply of article data to marketplaces, comparison portals or partners
  • Import into Excel/Google Sheets for evaluations, product ranges and price lists
  • Comparison of image URLs and descriptions for content maintenance

Recommendations:

  • Schedule hourly retrieval (e.g. via scheduler/automation in the target system)
  • Convert stock field to "pieces" during import (e.g. 60,000 → 60)
  • If you have any questions about the field structure: a brief note on the deviating structure is sufficient
