We are not currently accepting money orders or cash for payments at this time.  With the number of orders we have each day and the changing inventory, it does not work out well for us to set aside items and wait for a payment to arrive in the mail.   We’re sorry about the inconvenience, but it helps things run smoothly for everyone else.
WHEN WILL “PRODUCT X” BE BACK IN STOCK?
If there is an item that is marked as “out of stock” but still shows up in the store, that means we are doing our best to get more of that item.   However, due to backorders or delays in shipping with our suppliers, we may have to wait a little while for certain items.  In these cases, we cannot give you a firm answer when they will be available again.    Just be assured, we’re doing our best to satisfy our customers and we will continue to work on improvements!
