Understanding backorders and shipping

What are backordered items? 

Sometimes sets or pieces are temporarily out of stock, but we expect them back soon! You can still place an order for these items and we’ll ship them as soon as they arrive in our warehouse. You’ll find an estimated shipping date on the LEGO.com product page, but these dates might change. 

Will backordered items hold up the rest of my order? 

We ship LEGO® sets as soon as they’re available, so backordered items won’t hold up the rest of your order. However, free promotional items and LEGO Insiders rewards will ship once all items are available. 

Pick a Brick orders and replacement pieces 

LEGO pieces are shipped when all the pieces in the order are available. If there’s a backordered piece in your order, we’ll wait until everything is in stock before we send them.
