Why did I receive an email saying an item was back in stock, but it was sold out when I tried to buy it?

We understand that it can feel confusing to receive an email saying an item is back in stock, only to discover that it is sold out when you try to purchase it. We apologize for this.

This can happen for two reasons:

1. Technical issue
   In some cases, a technical error may cause a back‑in‑stock email to be sent even though the item is already sold out.
2. Quick sale after a return
   It may also be that we have received a return of the item, which makes it temporarily appear as available. If several customers are waiting for the same item, it can sell out very quickly.

We hope you find another item that you like just as much.
