Testing the Waters: Pre-Orders
How It Works
-
Final Product Photos Only
We only accept pre-orders based on finalized product photos—not prototypes. This helps ensure that what you see is truly what you’ll get. -
Short Pre-Order Windows
Pre-order windows will be brief—often just a few days—or until the available slots run out. Unlike traditional pre-order models that aim to collect as many orders as possible, our focus is on quality and a healthy workload. -
Limited Quantities
Pre-order availability is capped and dynamically managed by our system, based on predicted production capacity. Even though it’s a pre-order, we still limit numbers just as we do with in-stock products. -
Countdown Timers
Each product page will display a countdown that ends when the timer runs out or when all slots are filled. -
If You Miss It
If a pre-order sells out, we may consider offering another round—but only if we received enough orders to make a future release viable. That said, a second chance isn’t guaranteed and may take time to materialize, if at all.
