We are still shipping out orders at this time.
Office Hours are Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm CST.
We try to keep the website updated with stock status as much as possible. The product listings state at the top in orange text whether the items are In Stock, Out of Stock, or Special Order. If you want to order something that says out of stock or special order, you can contact us to see if we have an estimated timeframe.
In some instances where products have multiple options (various engraving patterns, pc lengths, reed strengths, etc), if one option is out of stock but others are still available, the listing will still say In Stock at the top, but the text body will state in bold print if an option is not currently available.
