What is a drop ship?

A drop ship is when part of your order is shipped directly from the manufacturer. This process is usually faster than having the manufacturer ship the part to us first. Not all manufacturer offer drop shipments. In this case we must backorder the item.

A drop ship occurs whenever you order an item that we either don’t stock or when you order a large quantity of an item we do stock. In either case, we ask the manufacturer to ship your item for us and we call it a drop shipment.

A drop ship is a shipment originating directly from the manufacturer. If we do not have a particular new item in stock, we will request the manufacturer to ship that item directly to you. We are unable to provide tracking information for drop shipments, however you may call or email us for that information.
