| What if it's out of stock? |
|
Snorkel-Mart.com retains a very close relationship with our vendors and the items we offer are very rarely out of stock. On the few occasions that we are out of stock on an item, it is usually because our vendor is also out of stock.
If your order contains an out of stock item, we will contact you for instruction on how to proceed. We do not backorder items. As it is our policy not to charge your credit card until your order has been completely packed and checked, you will never be billed for out of stock items.
We do work very hard at keeping our website up to date, as such we do our best to keep out of stock items off the website or indicate that they are out of stock.
