Restocking Dates Added to Out of Stock Products
It's that time of year when thoughts turn to Halloween.
We are busy adding new costumes and updating inventory information for all brands. We have also added a new feature that will show expected restocking dates for out of stock items. See the screenshot at right. When a size or color of an item is out of stock (indicated by the button changing from "Add to Cart" to "Back in Stock Soon!", look above the brand information and if we have a restocking date, you will see it there.
Please note not all manufacturers have restocking dates available (or even give us inventory information), so we do not always know if an item is out of stock until we try to order it or know their next arrival date if it is out of stock. But wherever we can, we will try to keep this up to date for you.
Some items may show restocking dates of "None" as well which probably means the piece is being discontinued once on hand stock runs out - so order it fast so you don't miss out!!!
One final thing to keep in mind is that all dates are estimates - most manufacturers get huge shipments in via freight container from their overseas factories and the dates reflect their estimated dates from the factory. These shipments can be delayed by many factors, and once they do arrive, it will take the manufacturer a few days to a week to unload, inventory, and package items before they will actually ship. So keep that in mind if you are ordering something you need by a particular date (and remember to let us know that date in comments when you check out so we can try our best to get it to you in time).
