FAQ
Common buyer questions
No. RoMaks operates an RFQ-first catalog. Product pages can show exact part identity, available documents, and technical context without presenting unconfirmed stock or pricing.
What happens when a datasheet, image, or lifecycle value is missing?The field remains unavailable until supporting documentation is confirmed. Similar-part data and generic placeholders are not presented as product facts.
How should buyers submit multiple parts?Use the RFQ basket or BOM-oriented request flow so quantities, manufacturer context, target price, and sourcing notes can move through the commercial workflow together.
Can search handle manufacturer plus part number queries?Yes. The search experience is designed for exact MPN, normalized MPN, manufacturer plus MPN, manufacturer discovery, category navigation, and controlled facet refinement.
