However, there is a select few of our vendors, suppliers and manufacturers that will charge shipping on special order items; though we may be able to waive their shipping depending on the special order items; ordered.

Currently, the *average* time for most shipments and or deliveries using this service is within 1-4 weeks. We will keep you updated on the processing, so that you know when to expect the items you ordered.
When an order is placed for an item, there are some cases that the item ordered is not currently in stock at one of our warehouses. It could be that the item may have been committed to another transaction just prior to the time you placed your order. This happens when the quantities did not update quick enough to reflect the correct availability of an item in the database. In such cases, it will raise a backorder flag on your order.
How will I know if my product is on backorder?
If an item you have ordered is flagged as a backorder, we will send you an e-mail to let you know about the backordered item before we continue processing your order. We will let you know the approximate *estimated* arrival time of the backordered item. You can then choose to wait for the backordered item or cancel it.
How long does a backorder remain active?
Backorders remain active for between 14 to 30 days on the majority of our products (the number of days is dependent on the manufacturer of said backordered item; so some restrictions apply per manufacturer – Contact Customer Service for specifics). When the manufacturer’s backorder time has expired, we will contact the manufacturer about the backordered item and verify the status of the item, if it is being discontinued, or when they actually expect the item to return to stock. Whether the item will be returning to stock or is being discontinued, we will contact you by email to let you know the status of the item.
About PayPal and the charges for the product(s) on backorder?
We conduct all business through PayPal. Your full order is processed through the PayPal service. When we discover an item is on backorder. You will be contacted by email about how you wish to precede with the item; if you cancel the item(s) a refund for the amount of the item(s) will be processed; or if you want to wait on the backorder, we will hold the funds until the backorder has reached the expiration of active status with us or the manufacturer; and upon this expiration a refund will be issued.
Attention: Our Mystery Boxes are NOT a lottery, raffle, sweepstakes, or any form of gambling.
How it Works:
Pick the Mystery Box you want ~ $45, $50, $60, $75, $100, etc…
Then Select the type of Mystery Box ~ Home, Personal or Business.
Optionally, you may select Female, Male, Unisex or NA.
Then pay for your Mystery Box; and then after payment is confirmed; the process begins.
About the Mystery Box and the Process:
Junction 116, LLC is in the business of generating donations for the charities we support. So 50 percent of the order will be used for a donation to one of our current charities. As an example:(if you buy a Mystery Box for $50, then $25 is going to be a donation, and the remaining $25 goes towards your Mystery Box).
Next, we look at your choice of Mystery Box. Is it Home, Personal or Business and whether you choose the option of Female or Male. Now is where the fun begins for us; and we do me fun. Because it is just exciting to be sending out a surprise; and we are doubly happy, because of you, we are meeting our goals of helping others through charitable donations. It truly is a great feeling. Though, one more point to note about the Mystery Boxes, they are treated very personal and not like an assembly line item. Which means, each Mystery Box is unique and we do our darndest not to duplicate them. Furthermore, extra time is taken to ensure the item is in good working order (not broken), and when it is packaged, that it meets our package requirements, in order to survive the rest of its journey to you.
More about the Process:
After we pick your Special Mystery Box item. It is ordered and shipped to us from one of our 90 plus Manufacturers, Suppliers or Vendors (they are worldwide). Then, depending on the time of the week and where we order your Special Mystery Box item, it may take a couple of extra business days. Though we should point out, delivery times of Mystery Boxes will vary from a couple days up to 3 weeks, it is all dependant on the Special Mystery Box item we have ordered for you. But, do not despair on the times, we will keep you informed with updates on its travels. And once it is officially enroute to you; a tracking number will be provided.
We really hope you enjoy your Mystery Box!
Returns:
It does not happen very often, but, on occasion a Mystery Box will arrive broken, in which case it must be reported to us and no more than 4 days later due to inventory constraints on some items; it should include a photo(s) of the damage, your invoice number and then emailed to sales@junction116.com; after which you will receive further instructions about the return/exchange of the broken item. FYI: The the Mystery Box will be replaced with the same (if possible) or an item of equal or greater value in accordance with our Mystery Box Policy. In addition, it should be noted, that refunds are not given due to the very nature of it being a Mystery Box (To Define: We do not offer refunds, returns or credits for dissatisfaction of contents.)
NOTE: the Mystery item will have a MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) equal to or greater than the remaining value of the Mystery Box purchased after the donation amount; As an example:($50 = $25 Donation and $25 MSRP Mystery Box). Additionally, it should be noted that the Mystery Box is a brand new item, but in some instances it may be a manufacturer’s refurbished item (like new). Though, in either case, the Mystery Box will be equal to or greater than the remaining value of the Mystery Box purchased after the donation amount .
