If an item has an estimated ship date, it means it's currently out of stock and in the process of being restocked, and estimated to be available to ship on the date specified. This gives you the option to purchase and reserve the item(s) you want in advance and guarantee you'll get them. Payment for the item will be taken at the time the order is placed and your card will be charged upon checkout. NOTE: Your entire order will be shipped in full as soon as ALL items on your order are available. If you require certain items before your item arrives, we recommend placing separate orders. If you have any questions, email us at info@oliveandpiper.com.
