 Product Availability

Products sold are either "In Stock, Coming Soon, Pre-Order, Backordered or Out of Stock." Most items are in stock and ready to be shipped within our noted order processing timeframes. Some items may not yet be available, or temporarily out of stock. Expected release dates will be provided for "Pre-Order" items. Estimated "In-Stock" dates will be provided for "Backordered" or "Out of Stock" items. Please note that the product availability date is the date the product is expected in our warehouse. Processing time must be added to these dates. These dates are estimates, and are subject to change.

All release and in-stock availability dates are subject to change.

Upcoming & Pre-Ordered Items

 North Georgia Trading Company may from time to time display an item as "Upcoming." This means that the product will be made available for purchase in the near future. An estimated release date may not be listed. However, customers will have the option of “pre-ordering" these items for purchase at a later date.  A pre-ordered item is one that can be purchased prior to its release date. Please note that if a customer purchases a pre-ordered item, it will not be processed until the release date. The release date is not the expected arrival date for the item to your delivery location.

 

Backordered & Out of Stock Items

Due to overwhelming demand, a product may temporarily be out of stock, but can still be purchased. Please note that if you purchase a backordered item with in-stock products, your order will be shipped out separately. 

If you placed an order for an item that has gone on backorder while in processing, we will notify you via email of the delay.
