The product I ordered is "currently unavailable". What does this mean and what do I do?

To find out when the product you ordered will be back in stock and shipped to you, contact Corning Customer Service at (800) 492-1110. If your product need is urgent, Customer Service can also work with you to find a suitable alternative.
