We do not guarantee that all items for sale through our website, catalog or advertising are in stock at all times.
Univair carries over 20,000 parts in our inventory, with about 3,000 of those items being sold in such large volumes (our top sellers) that stock levels turnover almost monthly. With an inventory this large, shortages and out-of-stock issues are bound to happen.
If you want to know if a part is in stock before ordering, please call our sales department during regular business hours or email your assigned salesperson.
A NOTE ABOUT PRICING: Backordered, Special Order, and Built-to-Order items are subject to price increases, i.e. the final price may be higher than what was quoted when the order was placed. Univair reserves the right to adjust the prices of products on your final invoice at the time your order is shipped.
Backorders
| LEAD TIMES | |
| Univair-manufactured parts | 4 to 6 weeks on average |
| Parts from outside vendors | 2 to 4 weeks on average, but can take up to 8 months or longer on certain products
|
If your order contains items that are not currently in stock, you have the following options:
- Ship the in-stock items now, backorder the out-of-stock items and ship them when they become available. Note that you will be required to pay the shipping charges on the additional shipments.
- Ship the in-stock items now, and cancel the out-of-stock items.
- Cancel the entire order.
Contact your salesperson to discuss your options.
Built-to-Order
| LEAD TIME: 8 weeks minimum |
Univair built-to-order products, such as airframes and wings, take a minimum of 8 weeks to manufacture and prepare for shipping. We do not stock these items due to their large size and low sales volume, so if you order one please expect about 2 months for production before it ships.
Special Order Items
| LEAD TIME: 4 weeks on average, but may take longer |
Some items we don't keep in stock due to their low sales volume. Depending on the manufacturers' shipping policies, some special order items can be drop-shipped to you directly from them, while others ship their products to Univair and then we repackage and ship it to you. This can result in a long turnaround time for delivery.
Some special order items require a non-refundable deposit before we will order the part for you.
Your salesperson will contact you if your order contains a special order item to discuss your options and provide an estimated delivery time.
