Backorders
How do I know if my order is backordered and
what happens next ?
Most customers are notified via email of when an item is backordered. Please
allow
2-3 business days for notification.
Due to the volatility of and constant changes in the marketplace, there is a
small chance
that the item(s) you ordered will be out of stock
or discontinued when your order is processed. If this should be the case, you
will be notified
shortly that we will not be able to ship the
item(s). To make up for any inconvenience this may cause you, we will offer you
a discount
on your next order.
homebrands.com makes every effort to provide current stock status. In spite of
these attempts, items
that are listed on the site as available
may occasionally fall on backorder.
If, for any reason, your item has not shipped within the specified shipping time
frame, we will
notify you of this delay via email. At that
time you will be given the option to either cancel your order, or allow it to
remain on backorder.
If your order cannot be shipped within 30 days it will be canceled. In an effort
to help our
customers, you may be given the opportunity
to extend the back order past 30 days for highly constrained items, and orders
will remain
open and be shipped as soon as the product
becomes available. No backordered item will be kept open beyond 30 days without
the
consent of the customer.
Why does my order show that it is rejected if I received notification that it is
backordered ?
If you have received notification that your order is on backorder and you see
that it is rejected in the
order confirmation screen , it
means that the order is still a valid order.
It will remain rejected until it ships.
Most customers are notified via email of when an item is backordered. Please
allow 3-4 business
days for notification.

Cancel an order
You can cancel an order anytime during Checkout

provided that we have not already

Partial Orders
Why is it that I received part of my order ?
Where is the rest of my stuff ?
Please note that on multiple item orders, we may occasionally send your items in
separate boxes. This is done to take advantage of items in stock at different
distribution
centers and will not affect your shipping charge.
Return to the top
Product availability
Why would an item be out of stock when it still
appears on your site?
Because of the great deals we offer, many of our products sell out very quickly.
In addition,
because many of our products are 'close-outs,' when they are gone
they are gone. We do
update our site hourly, but there is an inevitable delay in
reflecting the fluctuations of
quantities of product on hand—particularly since
thousands of people visit our online
store everyday. To avoid missing out on our
featured items, we encourage you to act
quickly. Unlike most other Internet
retailers, We attempt to carry a full inventory for
every product we sell. This
means that when we say an item is in stock, we mean it.
In rare cases however,
we may take your order and then discover that the product is
not available for
shipping (i.e., it is damaged or defective). In this case, we will notify
you
via e-mail that it is on backorder and do our utmost to fulfill the order as
soon as
possible. You will also have the option to cancel the order.
