A preorder order backorder is an order placed for an item that has not yet been released or is not currently in stock.

The expected manufacturer release date for the item is always detailed in the item description.

Preorders/Backorders typically arrive within 35~45 days after the manufacturer release date. This timeframe is affected by two separate factors:

Manufacturer lead time: This is the time it takes for the manufacturer to produce and prepare the item for shipment. It can vary depending on the product and current production capacity. Typically, it takes up to 7~14 business days.

International shipping: If the item requires international shipping, once the item is ready, it will be shipped internationally to our US warehouse. This generally takes 35~45 days, but may be longer due to factors like customs clearance or holidays.

After arrival at our US warehouse, orders will be shipped immediately on the following business day.
