Store Status Explanation

We have a large number of items in our inventory, but we also have hundreds of customers. There is a possibility that someone else may have 'beat' you to an item you're interested in ordering. So we have created this 'Status' system, where there are three possibilities:
  • Available - All Available
  • (#) Available - Some Available
  • On Hold - All on Hold
If an item is marked "Available", it is available and the quantity available = the number in the "qty" column. You can order this item and be almost certain it will be reserved for you.

If an item is marked "(#) Available", some number of that particular item are on hold for other customers, but the rest are available. The (#) represents the number of items available (not on old). You can order this item (up to the (#) and be almost certain it will be reserved for you.

If an item is marked "On Hold", it is currently on hold for other customers. You can still order this item, but you are not guaranteed that the item will become available. You will be put on a 'waiting list' should the item become available (customer cancels the order or does not pay in the allotted time). You can click "On Hold" to see the hold time remaining (note that we are currently working on this function, and it should be up and running shortly).
