Canadian and International orders wait until every item is available before shipping. For domestic transactions, if a purchase combines in-stock items with pre-order or backordered ones, the shipment will remain on hold until all products are available, with the following exceptions:

Should you have a separate, fully available purchase, we might sometimes send out ready items from all your orders together.

Our system might occasionally opt for partial shipping if around 50% of the products are available, possibly pulling ready items from other pending requests.

While we generally stick to these guidelines, we might choose to send out partial orders at our discretion. Hence, for immediate shipping needs, it's best to separate in-stock items from pre-ordered ones when ordering.
