Understanding Stock Availability & Lead Times

If an item is out of stock, it may still be available through manufacturer fulfillment. In these cases, a lead time will apply before the item ships. Here’s what that means and what to expect.

What Happens When an Item Is Out of Stock

If inventory is not immediately available:

• The item may be ordered directly from the manufacturer
• Additional time will be required before it ships
• Availability and timing will depend on the supplier

This is often referred to as a backorder.

What Is Lead Time?

Lead time is the estimated time it takes for a product to be sourced and prepared for shipment when it is not currently in stock.

This may include:

• Time to obtain the product from the manufacturer
• Time to prepare the item for shipment

What You Can Do

Check product availability
Review the product page to see if the item is in stock or requires lead time.

Plan for additional time
If an item is not in stock, expect a delay before shipping.
