Frequently asked questions

How do I request a quote for a product from Hoskin Scientific?

Click the Request a Quote button on any product page, contact your nearest Hoskin Scientific office (Coquitlam, Oakville, Montreal, Edmonton), or email sales@hoskin.ca with the product name, quantity, and intended application. Our team typically responds within one business day with pricing, lead time, and any application-specific recommendations.

Do you stock products in Canada, or order from the manufacturer?

It depends on the product. Frequently-requested items (data loggers, sensors, common test equipment, consumables, parts) are stocked in our Canadian warehouses for fast dispatch. Specialised equipment and larger systems are typically built to order by the manufacturer and shipped through us. We confirm both stock status and lead time on every quote.

What are typical lead times for scientific and industrial equipment?

Stocked items normally ship within 1-3 business days from a Canadian warehouse. Built-to-order instruments typically have manufacturer lead times of 4-12 weeks depending on the product (water-quality sondes 4-8 weeks, custom pilot plants 12-24 weeks, calibration services 7-10 business days). We confirm specific lead times on every quote and provide updates throughout the build.

Do you offer rentals as well as sales?

Yes. Hoskin Scientific maintains a rental fleet of common test instruments including water quality meters, infrared cameras, flow meters, and geotechnical and environmental loggers, available daily, weekly, or monthly. Visit our Rentals page to browse the rental catalogue or contact us for availability on a specific instrument.

Do you ship products across Canada?

Yes. We ship from our four service centres (Coquitlam BC, Oakville ON, Montreal QC, Edmonton AB) to anywhere in Canada via courier or freight. Shipping is quoted per-order based on size, weight, and destination. International shipping is available on request.

How do I know which product or instrument is right for my application?

Contact a Hoskin Scientific application specialist via your nearest office or sales@hoskin.ca with a description of your measurement, sample, or process.
