Placing the order

What does availability mean?
Availability is the time we take to acquire an item once you have placed an order for it. It does not include the amount of time taken by your payments to reach us and the time taken by your order to reach you, once we ship it. Shipping time is dependent on the shipping method you choose. So when you actually receive your order is as follows:

Availability + Payment Realisation Time + Shipping Time = Total Delivery Time.
