Availability & Lead Times
We use plain availability language across the site so you can plan procurement accurately.
| State | What it means | Typical action |
|---|---|---|
| In stock | Held in our stock and ready to dispatch | Buy online or quote for bulk |
| Confirm availability | Stock position varies – we verify before you commit | Request a quote; we confirm within one business day |
| Supplier order | Sourced from supplier on confirmed order | We confirm lead time and price in writing first |
| Out of stock | Temporarily unavailable | Request a quote to be notified or discuss alternatives |
Lead times
Lead times depend on the item and quantity. Stocked items dispatch promptly; supplier-order items carry a supplier lead time that we confirm per order before you commit. We would rather give you a real date on request than publish an estimate we cannot guarantee.
