• Be informed about fraudulent internet and phone practices:
• 
  
• Phishing is a technique of fraudulently obtaining private information. Typically, the phisher sends an e-mail that appears to come from a legitimate business requesting verification of information and warning of some consequence if it is not provided. The email usually contains a link to a fraudulent web page that seems legitimate or has a form requesting everything from a home address to an ATM card's PIN.
• 
  
• Pretexting is a practice in which someone assumes the guise of another person in order to establish trust and extract private information, typically over the phone or through online communication. The scammer not only pretends to be someone they're not, but also creates a credible "pretext" for why such information is needed.
• 
  
• Forward suspicious emails to security@lakeside.com. Contact our Customer Service Department to report suspicious phone inquiries.

The status of all of our items are available when you order through our Website and on our Catalog Quick Order. The stock status will be shown next to the item number of each product.  And while most of our items are in stock, in cases where products have extremely high demand, we may be awaiting additional stock to fulfill customer orders. In these cases, we strive to provide an accurate date range within which we expect to receive our stock from our manufacturer.

By placing your order now, we'll put you on our priority list to receive your selection shortly after stock arrives to our warehouse. Be assured that your credit card will not be charged until we ship your item.

While our service agents are always delighted to assist you, our website displays the most current and accurate information available, and our agents do not have additional detail beyond what is displayed online.

Typically we will have more specific information available on our website within a couple of days, but if you go ahead and place your order, you'll be placed on our priority list to receive your merchandise as soon as it becomes available. Remember, your credit card will not be charged until we ship your item.

While items with the "Limited Quantities" message are likely in stock, some items are in such high demand that our inventory may be exhausted faster than our product availability information can be updated. Therefore, it is recommended you place your order quickly while our supplies last to ensure receipt of your selection.

If an item on backorder says we are "awaiting shipment detail", this means our estimated stock arrival date has passed, and we are validating that our shipment has arrived and we have received all ordered pieces. In the unlikely case our stock has not arrived, we are awaiting updated information from our vendor. Please check back in a couple of days for updated status.

We strive to thoroughly test our products, both imported and domestic, for both safety and quality. It is our goal to exceed industry standards.
