An “Active” designation means that the product in almost all circumstances will be in stock or if not, it can be backordered. A “Limited Availability” designation is for products that we still have in stock, but we are either no longer going to offer once our remaining stock is sold out or we may be phasing it out over time due to diminishing demand. A “Discontinued” designation means we no longer have any stock but in many instances, we will recommend a successor item. These alternatives will appear when one searches by the obsolete product name.
