This can be done for either single or bulk purchase of Standards and is effected straight at the time of purchase with the availability of stock at hand. Often the purchase and delivery can be conducted over a day or two pending stock availability and delivery arrangements. Over the counter sales can also be effected through a personal basis here at NISIT Office.
