Items and Availability

The availability and lead time for each item is shown on the item detail page. For all items on our site, we display their availability with the following statuses:

  • In Stock - These items are in stock at one of our California facilities, and are available for immediate delivery.
  • Low Inventory - These items are in stock at one of our California facilities, however, we have low quantities of these items.
  • Made to Order - These items are shipped directly from the manufacturers, which are located across the country. These items typically require longer lead times and generally cannot be expedited nor gift-wrapped.
  • On Backorder - These items are sold out. When an item is on backorder, we will display the expected in-stock date, and if a backorder item is purchased, we will ship the order when all items are in stock. The expected in-stock date reflects our best guess and/or guidance from the supplier. As the in-stock date changes, we will provide updates to you, but we do not control the timing until we have the stock in hand.
