Inventory/Stock Notifications

Our shop inventory, as well as inventory from a few warehouses, is uploaded to our site several times a day!!! If we don't have it, or if we can't have it shipped....you can't buy it from us! Our website tells you this information.

Here is what this means:

In-Stock- we have the item here in our shop in Columbus, Ohio. It can be placed in your shopping cart and purchased. As with most orders, it will be shipped within 24-48 hours (and sometimes within hours) and typically 2-5 shipping days most anywhere in the U.S.

Available to Ship- the item is not in our shop but available to ship from a warehouse in the United States....this mostly happens with items from Simms. It can be purchased, and will be shipped, but may be a few days behind our normal shipping timeline. If you are in a hurry, you may want to contact us to be sure that we can meet your deadline. We are always happy to assist.

Out of Stock or Selected Option Temporarily Out of Stock- well, this means that we don't have the exact item in stock at the moment (here or elsewhere)...but is on order and we expect it soon. You cannot order this item at this time. It cannot be put into your shopping cart. We don't sell things that we don't have or cannot ship.

"Notify Me"- if an item is Out of Stock, you can register to receive an e-mail when it comes back in stock or available to ship. Easy and no obligation of course. We'd love to let you know when the item arrives!

Please...if you have any questions, e-mail us or call us and we'll be happy to help and always remember to check your order notes for any information regarding your order! Just click on your name!
