What Do the Different Inventory Statuses Mean?

On LindeDirect, orders are placed for either pickup or delivery. This means that the inventory available to you differs depending on your location and order type.

 

For example, if you place a pickup order from our branch in Raleigh, NC, that inventory is different than if you place a delivery order to your home in Raleigh, NC. The delivery order is shipped from one of our regional distribution centers (DC) which has a completely different inventory allotment than the local branch.

 

Below is a guide to the different inventory statuses you may see listed on the site. If you still have questions, please reach out to our ecommerce customer reps at lindedirect@linde.com or use the live chat function.
