Our aim is to track and ensure the availability of the 2,200 items in the TopTex catalogue in our warehouses on your behalf. However, we are dependent on our partners' decisions and European stock levels, and stock outages and/or the discontinuation of certain items may nonetheless occur. In order to always keep you best informed, we acknowledge receipt of your order by email and state the availability of or restock date for your items along with the anticipated delivery date. If this date changes, you will be informed as soon as possible by email and have the option of either cancelling or continuing with your order, taking the new delivery date given into account.
