# How do I know if an item is in stock?

We want to make your shopping experience as seamless as possible, so we've got you covered when it comes to checking item availability. Here's how you can find out if an item is in stock:

### Online Store

If you're browsing our online store, each product page will provide you with up-to-date information on its availability.
* If an item is in stock and available to purchase online, you'll see a button for ADD TO CART.
* If an item is not in stock or unavailable to purchase online, you'll see button for INSTORE ONLY, or no button at all. A missing button means that item is out of stock.

We also provide indicators such as "In Stock" or "Sold out online" clearly displayed on the page. If the item is in stock, you're all set to add it to your cart and proceed with your purchase. If it's out of stock, don't worry!

### Nearby stores

If you prefer shopping in person, contact or visit the store team at the location you’re interested in and ask about the specific item. Store associates can provide the current availability for that location. Availability may differ between stores; for example, an item can be in stock at one location and out of stock at another.

For low-stock items, ask the store to confirm the quantity available before ordering. If you place a pickup order, wait for the official **Ready for Pickup** notification before going to the store.

At Red Apple®, we strive to keep our inventory as accurate as possible, but please note that stock availability is subject to change quickly during peak periods due to high demand or unforeseen circumstances. Therefore, we recommend checking the availability of an item as close to your desired purchase time as possible to ensure the most accurate information.
