If an item is not in stock, we will provide you with our best estimated availability date. In this case we may not be able to guarantee a delivery date due to lack of control over a supplier’s actual delivery performance, international shipping times or Customs’ delays. Any statements on the delivery period are non-binding unless we have made a binding commitment to a delivery date.
