Backorder Items
Many of our products are available in larger quantities for backorder. If you require larger quantities of an item than we currently have in stock, simply add your desired quantity to your cart, place your order and we will get them in for you as quickly as possible.
Backordered items are subject to availability with our suppliers. If an item becomes unavailable after you have placed your order we will contact you and offer alternative options. However, it may not be possible to source the item at all, or within your required time period. In this instance, we will offer to refund your order.
