If you would like a partial shipment of just the parts that are in stock, make two orders, one for the in stock parts and one for the items that are back-ordered.
Ordering items that are back-ordered gives you the benefit of getting these items as soon as they are back in stock.
If an items is out of stock, check the products information page to see an ETA (Estimated time of arrival) (if available) at our warehouse.

Back-Orders: Mistakes
We take great care to make sure that our inventory levels are accurate so that when you checkout all of the in-stock items are actually in stock.
