Back orders

Backorders may happen for a number of reasons. We will pass on any relevant information regarding your products to keep you informed of progress.

If a product is out of stock with a supplier it can mean that the estimated delivery time is increased while the product is being manufactured. The majority of our manufacturers avoid low inventory levels, however in certain circumstances this cannot be avoided.

Ordering multiple items

If you have more than one product on your order they may arrive separately. To ensure that you receive your order as quickly as possible we ship every product out the same day it arrives with us. If delivery charges apply, you will only be charged once.

Custom Products

Custom products are specifically designed for the customer and are therefore likely to take longer than a standard product. Specialised materials is often sourced by the manufacturer which can also affect the delivery times.

Custom orders cannot be cancelled after production has begun. Once you have been informed of the delivery time of a custom product it will then enter production, and is being made specifically for each individual customer. Some manufacturers allow a cancellation period of 1 day after receiving your order. However this is down to the manufacturer’s discretion.
