    Item Questions

    Restocking Times

    While we make every attempt to keep most items in stock at all times, things do run out. Rest assured if an item is out of stock, we're already working on getting it back in. If your item is backordered, check here for an estimate of how long it may be out of stock.

    Domestic products - Normal restock time is about a week. From time to time a video is delayed due to reprinting (i.e. supplier does not have it). In this case it can take weeks or months for an item to come back in. We will make note on these items in such cases when we are informed of extensive delays.

    Import products - Popular items usually restock in two weeks. Less popular or special order items can take a month or more to come in.

    Special order items

    At this time we are very busy expanding our selection to make Budovideos.com the best online martial arts video source. If there is something you want that we don't have, just contact us here. We'll see if we can special order it for you. Please note, special orders need to be pre-paid.
