BACK ORDERS (OUT OF STOCK ITEMS)

Back ordered merchandise includes items that are not currently in stock. In most cases, these items are on order from the distributors or manufacturers. In some cases, we are awaiting or researching stock information from one or more of our suppliers. When we receive the product, we notify you via e-mail and ship it to you promptly at no extra charge.

​

If for any reason we determine that a back ordered item will no longer be available at all, we will notify you by e-mail, and we will deduct the item from your total order cost when we charge your card.

​

ORDER CANCELLATION

Cancellation is applicable only if we receive your notification BEFORE we ship your order.

If the order has already been sent, cancellation is not possible anymore but you can still RETURN the order (please see next section.)

​

RETURNS

You have 45 calendar days to return an item for whatever reason from the date you received it.

​

To be eligible for a return, we must receive your item unused and in the same condition that you received it. Your item must be in the original product packaging.

Shipping charges for all returns must be prepaid and insured by you. You are responsible for any loss or damage to the item during shipment. This means if your returned parcel is lost or damaged, we can't give you a refund but you should be able to claim reimbursement from the shipper you used.

​

Once we receive your item, we will inspect it and notify you that we have received your returned item. We will notify you on the status of your refund after inspecting the item.

​
