ANSWER:

Unfortunately, we cannot control our suppliers' inventory. And we do not keep much inventory or we would need a huge warehouse! Not to mention the cost of inventory! But we will contact our supplier when you place your order and check availability immediately, and advise you just as quickly if there is a problem. Glass and crystal, for example, comes to our suppliers from overseas, so we always check. And we have several sources for most items, so if one supplier is out of stock, we will jump on Plan B! If this doesn't work, Plan C would be to contact you and give you some other options or a schedule for that item to become available, if that is an option. But you can be assured this happens right away, when your order is placed, not the day before your presentation!
