Pre-Orders Any forthcoming titles available to pre-order are clearly marked with a red PRE-ORDER label, and the anticipated publication date. If you’d like to confirm an item’s availability or check on the status of an order, please email us. In the event that an item you have ordered is unexpectedly delayed for 7 days or more, we will contact you by email with a delivery estimate. We will inform you of any delays affecting your order as quickly as possible.īackorders Items marked AVAILABLE TO ORDER are available on backorder and typically arrive within a couple of days, but can occasionally take longer to arrive.
