Can I order out of stock items?

Is it possible to purchase items that are not currently in stock at most bathroom retailers? Are some more likely to provide this option than others?

"The best thing to do is ask the question to the actual retailers. Some will have a firm date when the item will next be available, some will have an expected availability date and some will have no clue. It's all down to who THEY are buying the item from, where it's coming from and what the demand is. My experience during Covid times is that nothing is reliable and everyone is reluctant to give any firm commitment. It really depends on how critical the item is...if it's a toilet roll holder it could probably wait, if it's a bath or toilet I would be looking to buy one that is in stock NOW. In short, speak to the shop and take their advice....the fingers crossed method rarely works!"

"Most should have other similar options if you're in a hurry if not they will be coming back in if you order now"
