When a sea container lands at a port city in the United States, that typically means that the shipment will be coming by train and then truck to our Oregon warehouse within the coming month. As the shipment nears port, we often make out-of-stock items visible on our site and open up pre-ordering. You'll recognize items that are returning soon by their blue PRE-ORDER banner. Here are a few things to remember when you place pre-orders:

• Email us a list of SKUs and quantities you'd like to order.
• We'll confirm your pre-order and let you know if we have any questions.
• You'll need to arrange payment when you place your pre-order.
• When arrival is imminent, we'll notify you that your order will be available to ship soon.
• You have three business days after notification to add items and make changes.
• If you don't contact us within three business days, we'll ship your order as originally requested.
• As always, if you need to know your total with shipping costs, please let us know in advance.
