When we receive any order that does not fit these requirements we will contact you with a quote price for your approval prior to shipping.
5. What are your minimums?
On our website, each item description will state if there is a minimum or if you can purchase the items individually.
6. How do you handle Out of Stock Items
BeadStore.com.au makes every effort to ensure we have ample stock of all products available at all times. However, it is sometimes impossible to predict demand and unforeseeable delivery delays from suppliers. This occasionally leads to some items being out of stock.
All orders are filled on a first come, first served basis. It is possible that you may place an item in your shopping cart as it is in stock but when it gets to our warehouse it is out of stock. While we make every effort to have sufficient quantities available of all products to prevent this from occurring, sometimes it is beyond our control.
If the of stock item is due to be replenished within three working days we will hold your order until the item is received before posting.
If the out of stock item is not expected within three working days we will ship your order and you will need to reorder at a later date. Unfortunately due to the need for timely processing of all customer orders we are unable to hold back your order and advise you of any out of stock items prior to shipping.
If there is any out of stock item on your order we will email you a coupon for free standard shipping of your next order.
We are very sorry, but we do not back order products.
