We provided answers to a list of the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) when using the new online order platform.

Ordering

Yes. If you do not have tax-exempt status, your cart will automatically calculate your estimated tax. If you have tax exempt status and have provided a tax exemption form to Gore, your order total will not reflect include additional tax costs.

Each different part number can have its own delivery dates; however, single part numbers cannot be split into multiple orders with different delivery dates. Each requested delivery date for a single part number needs to be placed as a separate order. 

For example, if you’re trying to order parts 123456 and 987654, you could put both parts on the same order with different delivery dates. If you are only ordering part 123456 and need 60,000 of those vents in the first month and the remaining 40,000 in 6 months, you will need to place two different orders.

Lead Times


Each GORE Vent product has a unique lead time. During checkout, the earliest available ship date for the products you ordered will be estimated. Within one business day of placing your order, you will receive an order confirmation with a confirmed ship date.

When you place your order on the GORE Vents online store, you will see an estimated ship date for your products based on current lead times. Please contact your Gore representative if you would like to expedite your order. Expediting fees could apply.
