Help - Ordering Process

What happens if something is backordered?
If an item is found to be out of stock after the order is placed, then item will be removed from the order and the remaining items shipped. We do not hold up the order because an item is backordered. You will not be charged for the backordered item or the shipping cost of the item. The item that was backordered will have to be re-ordered online when stock is available.

Ateck.com does not sell backordered items.  All product's availability are Live data on our site based on our inventory data.  However, errors can occur resulting in a backordered item.  The count can be off or the last few items on the shelf could be damaged.  It is never our intention to charge an order for items we cannot ship.
