Out-of-Stock Items
Our online inventory is updated daily; however, it is not a “real time” inventory. As a result, it is possible for an item to go out-of-stock after you place your order. Should this occur, the item will be placed on backorder.
- In most cases, backordered items will be sent when all out-of-stock items are available; your in-stock items will arrive first, followed by one later delivery of all backordered items.
- If you paid by credit card, your card will not be charged for backordered items until sent; no additional shipping charges will be added when we send the backordered items.
- If you paid with PayPal, your order was paid in full when placed; no further charges will be made when backorders are sent. Any canceled items will be refunded to your PayPal balance.
- On the invoice enclosed with your order, for each item on the order, the invoice column marked QOR shows how many were ordered; the column marked QSH shows how many were shipped; the column marked QBO shows how many are on backorder.
- If an item was partially filled, you will see a number in both the QBO and QSH columns.
- If we shipped none of an item, it will be listed at the end of your packing slip/invoice and you will see a zero in the QSH column.
- If you would rather we not place out-of-stock items on backorder for you, please use the Special Instructions box (Payment Method page) to tell us your preference.
- Sometimes circumstances beyond our control affect availability, therefore, we reserve the right to cancel any backorder.
Drop-Ship Items
Some items are shipped directly to you from the manufacturer. Drop-Ship items may not be sent by an expedited or express shipping method; only Regular Ground shipping is available for these items. Some Drop-Ship items (see product page) may be shipped only within the contiguous U.S.
