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


Search for the product in our online store and open its product page to check availability. The purchase options show whether it can be ordered online:

  • ADD TO CART means the item is available to purchase online.
  • In store only means it cannot be purchased online; check the Store Availability section or contact the store before visiting.
  • If there is no ADD TO CART button or the page says Sold out online, the item is unavailable for online purchase. It may still be available in a store, so select the specific store in Store Availability to check its local stock status.
  • In Stock means the item is available at that store, and Low Stock means it could sell out quickly.
  • Use Notify me when available online, when shown, to receive an alert when a sold-out item is restocked.
  • Restock Alerts: If an item is out of stock, click Notify me when available online on the product page to submit your email. As soon as inventory is replenished, our system will automatically send an email alert straight to your inbox so you can grab it before it sells out again.


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, check the product page again later or use the restock notification if available.


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.


You can also contact a team member through the chat on the Contact page, which receives priority support, or call 888-555-0199. Share the product name and store location so the team can help check availability.


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.
