If item(s) on your order are listed as ‘in stock’ then we will dispatch your order within 2 working days of receiving it. If only part of your order is in stock, then we will send all in stock items immediately and automatically create a new order/invoice for all other items. For items listed as ‘available to order’, we have to order then from our suppliers and then wait for our suppliers to send them to us. This normally takes between 2-6 weeks, so please allow up to 28 days after ordering before contacting us. Some items do sell out or go temporarily out of print, and it can then take longer before we get these items back in stock. ‘Pre-order’ is displayed against items that are not officially available yet. These items can be ordered and will be shipped as soon as they arrive. Please note that due to the extra time it takes for items to reach us from Japan or the US, there can can be a significant delay between the release date and an item actually arriving.
