Back Order
1. Q: Can I back order an item?
A: Absolutely. If an item is out of stock, you may buy it and wait for it to arrive. If we receive an approximate delivery date from our supplier, that date will be updated to our website. An item that is 'On Order' and without an approximate delivery date means that we have just sent out orders to our supplier and no delivery information is available yet.

After a purchase has been made, we will send you an email and ask if you want to back order the item or choose an alternative color if any are available. Back orders are kept on a 'first come, first served' basis. We are currently working on a system to update your back order status and notify you periodically through email.

Please be aware that we have no control on how long your back order will take. It depends on our supplier's production schedule and market demand. At any point should you decide not to wait for your back order, just email us and we will gladly refund your money. The refund will be sent to your credit card or original payment method.


Return to Top
2. Q: The item I just bought is out of stock. What can I do?
A: If we have insufficient stock of a product, you will be notified of this as quickly as we can. You can choose to wait until the product becomes available, or change to equivalent value items, or cancel your order and get a refund in store credit or back to your original payment. If you still want this item, we will ship your back ordered items to you again immediately when it becomes available. No extra shipping charge is incurred.

Return to Top
3. Q: How do I track the status of my back order?
A: You can always go to the item's page and see if an approximate delivery date is updated. We are currently working on a system to update your back order status and notify you periodically through email.

Return to Top
4. Q: When can I expect my back order to be available?
A: When we receive the approximate delivery date from our supplier, it will be updated on that item's page. If this date is not available, you may email us to find out.

While we do our part to constantly replenish our inventory to meet demands, we have no control on how long your back order will take. It depends on our supplier's production schedule and market demand.

Back order for older models will usually take longer compared to newer models because of lower demand.


Return to Top
5. Q: I changed my address and still have a back order. What do I do?
A: If your back order has lasted more than three months, we will email you your shipping address and ask for your confirmation before we ship out your order. Please notify us as soon as possible if you've changed your shipping address to avoid further delay.
