What Does "Backordered" Mean?
We sometimes have merchandise for sale that has not yet been received at our distribution center, or that has sold out and is being restocked. You can still order these items to reserve your favorite color or size, and we'll ship them to you as soon as supplies are replenished. The expected ship date for backordered merchandise is listed when you add an item to your basket, and also during checkout. We do our best to keep these dates accurate, but please be aware that in rare circumstances we may experience delays, in which case we will email you the new expected delivery date.
If your order contains a mix of in-stock items and backordered items and you select express shipping, we will only be able to apply the expedited shipping to the in-stock items. Backordered items cannot be expedited and will ship via standard shipping when they arrive.
You will not be charged any additional shipping fees when backordered items ship.
