• Backordered Items
  Unlike most martial arts suppliers, we do not automatically cancel backorders for deliveries within the Continental USA. This policy has been instituted for the convenience of both World-Wide Martial Arts Supply and yourself.
  
  
  We maintain a large quantity of inventory in-stock. However, if we do not have your products on-hand, then we order them from our suppliers. It is infrequent, but in the event that our suppliers are backordered, then we will ship the items that we have in-stock, and will backorder the remainder of your order. The Shipping Confirmation and Packing List will indicate all backordered items for your review.
  
  
  Once backordered items are in-stock, we immediately ship it to you without any additional shipping and handling charge.
