Back-Order Policy

What does it mean when the item is "On Back Order"?
A back order is an order for the goods that cannot be filled at the current time due to a lack of available on-site inventory. The item may be available in the manufacturer's available inventory, or the supplier may need to still manufacture more of the product. Back ordered items can be ordered on our website to ensure your place in line.
 
The item I want to buy is "On Back Order", when can you get it in stock?
We regularly update our website to make inventory available as soon as we receive shipments from our suppliers. The best way to be notified when an item is in stock again is to sign up using the "Out of Stock!" notification section of the out of stock product's page.
 
Why is my credit card, debit card or PayPal account charged when the item is back ordered?
Back Order items are very popular and sell out extremely quickly. For this reason, we allow customers to reserve these items by placing a Back Order.  When you place an order for a back ordered item, we process the full cost of the item(s) just as we process payments for in-stock items. Payment guarantees your place in line, allowing you to receive the item at the earliest possible date.  You can cancel your order any time before it ships for a full refund.
 
When can I get my purchase that is currently Back Ordered?
We cannot guarantee a specific ship date as product availability is determined by the manufacturers. We will ship back ordered items as soon as we receive them in our warehouse. Orders are shipped on a first ordered first served basis. You can check product expected arrival dates with us by emailing us at [email protected].  
 
2020 and 2021 have seen massive impacts to the supply chains and transportation logistics around the world that have made it difficult and unpredictable for manufacturers, suppliers and retailers to have a good supply of stock and to predict when stock will be available.

Pre-Order Policy

What is a pre-Order?
Simply put, a pre-order is an order you can make for a new item before it is in stock and available for delivery.
 
Why should I pre-order at Brandonoptics?
By placing a pre-order with Brandonoptics you will receive the highest priority order fulfillment. We fill pre-orders based on the order they are received. Pre-orders are also processed prior to any in stock order received. Thus,  pre-ordering helps ensure you will receive the most sought after collectibles.

Am I guaranteed to get an item in the promised shipping period or availability date?
No, when an item opens for pre-order, we don't always have the full details on availability. Generally speaking, the estimated arrival date is accurate. However, it's not uncommon for manufactures to miss dates. Always check the product item page for the most up to date information on availability.

What are the chances that my pre-order will not be filled?
Remote. The only instances where a pre-order will not be filled are if the manufacture cancels or modifies a case assortment or simply short ships our order.  In the event of short shipment, we will prioritize filling pre-orders based on the order they were received.  We will then cancel all other outstanding pre-orders and issue full refunds for those orders.  We will not offer any compensation to customers for preorders that we are unable to fill based on our supplier short-shipping an order.

Do you charge my credit card at the time of purchase or when the item ships?
Because of the logistics associated with the secure storage of credit card information we charge the full amount at the time of purchase. We understand that it can sometimes be inconvenient to pay the full amount upfront and are currently working on a solution that will allow us the option to offer a pay when it ships model.
 
Can I cancel or modify a preorder?
Normally No!  But you may transfer the order over to someone else (the order cannot be canceled but can be redirected), we would very happy to be help.
 
When will my preorder ship?
Always check the product item page for the most up to date information on product availability.

What if I order multiple items, can I combine in stock and pre-order items?
Yes of course you can combine in stock and pre-order items. Normally we will hold your order until all items come in stock and ship all items together. For domestic customers we will at our discretion, ship in stock items at once and then process pre-orders when they arrive.  Note, if you wish for your in stock items to ship immediately then place a separate order for in stock items only.

How long will it take you to ship out my preorder once you?ve received the items.
?
We begin filling pre-orders the day we receive the items. We process and ship orders 7 days a week so in most instances you can expect to receive your shipping notification in one business day.
