While we understand that the item is shown as IN STOCK many of the items are not in stock and must be ordered AFTER we receive your order. The reasons for this vary however the most common reason is that there are minimum quantities of an item required or a minimum dollar amount for us to place an order.
We try to place these type orders once a week, and depending on the volume of sales for an item twice a week.
special order items typically take a minimu of 21 days from the time of purchase. YOU WILL BE CHARGED AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE FOR THESE ITEMS so that we either pay the artisan, be assured that the item is taken, and that we do not have to return the item to the manufacture for which we are charged a restock fee.
ONCE AGAIN SPECIAL ORDER ITEMS ARE CHARGED AT THE TIME OF ORDERING.
