How to Order

If you are trying to order items that won’t be available to ship all at the same time, please follow one of the options below:

1. Place an order for your preferred shipping window. Because the EBI program requires retailers to accept backorders, the delayed items will ship out separately once they become available.

2. Place an order for a later shipping window that aligns with the item that has the latest estimated available-to-ship date. This will increase the chance that all items will ship at the same time.
