Backorder Policy
What is a Backorder?
If an order is placed for an item that is temporarily out of stock, it may be placed on backorder. When this happens, your payment is processed at checkout to reserve your unit and secure fulfillment from the manufacturer.
Processing payment at the time of order helps prevent delays caused by payment authorization issues, changes in billing information, or inventory allocation. This ensures your order remains prioritized once the product becomes available.

- Switch to a comparable in-stock product
- Request cancellation for a full refund prior to shipment
To make changes, contact our team at +1 (855) 506-8889 or reply to your order confirmation email.
Unless we receive a cancellation request before shipment, your order will remain active and will ship as soon as inventory becomes available.
