During the checkout process, on the Shipping Information page, we provide you with 2 options of how you would like us to handle your order in the event that an item is out of stock. In case of out-of-stock item, we will email you and provide the options of:
SUBSTITUTE – we will select a similar item from our inventory to replace the missing item, assuming a similar item is available. Please note that by accepting this option you are also agreeing to accept what we send as a replacement. Although this option does mean your order will always ship quickly, if you are really only wanting what you’ve ordered, please don’t select this option.
DELETE – delete any out-of-stock items and ship the remaining items. Your order will then be credited for any out-of-stock items.
