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.
Pricing Policy
Product prices published in our website, catalog, price lists, advertisements or other marketing materials may not be current and are subject to change without notice. If the current price of an item is higher than the published price, we reserve the right to charge you the higher price at the time your payment is captured. More information can be found in our Terms and Conditions.
Lead Times Explained
"Lead time" is defined as the total amount of time it takes from when you place an order until the item is delivered to you. This time frame includes the time needed for order processing, sourcing, procurement, manufacturing, and shipping. Lead times shown below and in our website, catalogs and advertisements are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Lead times may be shorter or longer depending on the order.
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.
Backordered products are subject to price increases at the time your order ships. See our pricing policy above and in our Terms and Conditions.
Built-to-Order
| LEAD TIME: 12 weeks minimum |
Univair built-to-order products, such as airframes and wing kits, 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 a minimum of 3 months before you receive it.
Built-to-Order products are subject to price increases at the time your order ships. See our pricing policy above and in our Terms and Conditions.
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 directly to you, while other manufacturers will only ship their products to Univair where we then repackage and ship it to you. This can result in a long turnaround time before you receive your order.
Special Order products are subject to price increases at the time your order ships. See our pricing policy above and in our Terms and Conditions.
