  • Out-of-Stock: If your order consists of a request for multiple items, one or more of which is out of stock, there will be a notice on the enclosed receipt of the out-of-stock items. Out-of-stock items will not automatically be placed on backorder. If you would like to place a backorder, please contact Customer Service at 212-683-8960.
