the product until stock arrives.
Temporarily Out of Stock – There may be times where
we cannot supply this item. Mostly, it is only out of stock

This “raincheck” can be presented as soon as the
stock arrives and you can buy the original item (or its comparable
product) as the advertised price – even if the original
promotion has ended. “Rainchecks” do not apply
to items that have been advertised as “limited”,
“discontinued”, “surplus”, or “clearance”

Risk on the goods passes to you when the goods leave our warehouse.
Our order form allows you to elect to have goods insured against

damaged goods in transit must be lodged with the carrier of
local Post Office. If goods have been insured, please contact
