When you see that a product is on "Special Order," this means the particular product is not in stock, and we will backorder it for you after you place the order. Once we receive your purchased product, we will ship your order promptly. Special Ordered items can take as little as one day (usually) to ship. We will email you with updates once your products have shipped. Place your order as soon as possible to make sure you reserve the product so you can be at the top of the backorder list.
