“In Stock” means we have the product in our warehouse right now.

Items marked as “Pre-order” means that stock is on its way, but we don’t have it in the warehouse right now. In some cases, we may order the product in once we receive your order. Tip: If the “delivery date” is 90 days from today, it means we will be ordering the product in especially for you. We will place your out of stock item on backorder to be shipped to you as soon as it arrives in our warehouse. 

On 1% of occasions our stock level may be incorrect, and a product may not be available. In this case we will let you know immediately, and either send you an immediate refund or place the order on back-order.
