I'm in the US and knew there was a colorway in Toronto that I wanted. When they did the global search they indicated that Toronto had the colorway. They told me maybe two weeks in that it was located and then it took another two weeks to arrive. I didn't have to put down a deposit but did say I was 1000% sure I wanted the scarf and provided my CC for the charge once it arrived.
Thanks so much for the feedback. I will call them early next week to get a sense. I noticed they only charged 50% for the deposit. I really hope I am successful
