What happens if an item in my order is out of stock?
If you order an item that is not in stock, you will be informed of the backorder status in your shopping card and at the time of checkout. The ADVANCE Healthcare Shop is continually restocking merchandise and can often fulfill a back order quite quickly. Our policy is to fulfill your order as quickly as possible. In the rare event that your backorder is still out of stock 30 days after the first e-mail is sent, you will be asked to approve a 30-Day order Extension. If you do not approve the extension, this part of your order will be canceled within 24 hours. You will not be charged for any merchandise that is not in stock. Please visit our full shipping policy for more information on backorders.

When will I receive my order?
Orders will arrive based on the following shipping schedule:
- Standard Shipping: Allow 5 to 7 days from the date of your order. We use UPS Expedited Service (orders under 1 lb.) and UPS Ground Service (orders over 1 lb.) for Standard Delivery orders.

How can I check my order status?
Wondering about an order you've already placed? Visit the order history in "Your Account."
To get the details of your order, click the button marked "Details." You'll be able to see which items have shipped already and which are in process. If your order was shipped by UPS, we'll even give you a link to the UPS tracking number.
Orders shipped via a trackable method will have tracking information available in "Your Account." Please check this information if available and read through the following options:

- If the tracking information indicates that the package is being returned to us, or if the address is incorrect, it may have been undeliverable.

No sales tax is charged on the purchase of Gift Certificates. However, purchases paid for with Gift Certificates will be charged sales tax where required.
