You may add an item to your registry while it’s in stock and then days or weeks down the road when someone decides to purchase that item, it may not be available for purchase on that site. We always accept backorders so even if your product goes out of stock with the manufacturer, we can still accept and order and reserve your order from the next inbound shipment. This is a feature unique to Modern Nursery but means you will always be able to get the style and color you like and won’t have to compromise. It also means that your gracious gift givers will have a much easier time purchasing exactly the items you have picked out so you’re more likely to actually receive exactly what you want!
