"Item is Temporarily Oversold" suggests there would be plenty of items left if only those pesky customers hadn't bought so many. The item will only be restocked if it won't foil some other part of the management master plan or isn't too much of a hassle.

*snort* Does IKEA have the option to have an item shipped to the closest store, then you can go and pick it up and avoid the shipping costs? Probably not, considering it's attitude toward the shoppers who actually make it into the store!
