I want to know if you have stock on certain items before I place my order.

Our new stock status system allows you to check the availability of an item from within the item's page. Click on the colour-coded status indicator on the item's page to receive more detailed information about our expectations for that product.

Many items we don't regularly stock (for reasons of size, cost, or low demand) are available from our distributors and we get them quickly when we place an order for them if a customer requests one. Also, an item we normally stock may just be temporarily out when you happened to check it. This, too, means nothing about whether we can get it quickly for you or not.

Please just go ahead and place your order. Within 24-36 hours you will be able to check the stock level of what you've ordered using our Account Maintenance System on the web site. We will shop at our distributors for items ordered by customers that are not in stock until we either find it for you, or become convinced the search is futile. If you are worried about missing a chance to acquire the item, and want to place another order with another company, go ahead and do so. You can always cancel your order with HLJ if you find the item elsewhere first.
