Items Out of Stock
We only advertise items in our store if we are holding stock - we do not advertise items for sale if they are not in stock at our warehouse. However, sometimes an item can quickly go out of stock due to exceptional demand and in this case we may not have the time to amend our website before further orders are placed. If any of the items on your order are out of stock we will generally hold your order if stock is expected within a short period of time (such as 2-3 days). If we anticipate a longer wait then we will advise you of the delay and offer you the choice of a refund or to wait until the goods are back in stock. If we have another item which is very close in description and quality to your original request then we may offer you this alternative.
