Out of Stock Items

While we strive to keep our website full of products, we sometimes run out of popular items. When an item is out of stock, it will still appear on the website, but will be marked "out of stock" and will not be available for order. Pere Marquette River Lodge features real-time inventory, so as soon as the product is available for us to ship, it will be available for you to order. Unfortunately, we do not know when product shipments will arrive from manufacturers, and we cannot provide an availability date for out of stock items via phone or email. We suggest you check the site regularly to see when an out of stock item becomes available for order - no future orders will be taken.

Inventory levels are updated by hand at Pere Marquette River Lodge as we process orders.

If multiple items have been purchased, some of which are available while others are on backorder, we will contact you about shipping in-stock items immediately and the backordered item as it becomes available.

Order Cancellations

We maintain real-time inventory to ensure that we pick, pack and ship orders to our customers as quickly as possible. We do not process drop-ship orders.
