We make every effort to keep our shelves stocked full. However, in the rare case that part of your order is out of stock, we'll let you know by email or phone that we're shipping the available items immediately, and the rest as soon as it becomes available. In some cases if the backordered items are integral to the rest of the order, you have the option of waiting to ship them all together once the backorders come in. In this case your order status will be changed to"On Hold" until the backordered items arrive in our warehouse. Secondary shipments containing backordered items will be shipped on our dime, at no additional cost to you.
