Pro Tip

Check for restock dates

When you see '在庫切れ', look for '再入荷予定日' (expected restock date) to know when the item will be available again.

Gold Rule

Avoid assuming availability

Never assume a product is in stock just because it’s listed online—always verify '在庫状況' (inventory status).

Word Origin

Composed of 在庫 (zaiko, 'inventory/stock') and 切れ (kire, 'cut/out' from 切れる 'to run out'). The phrase literally means 'inventory cut out' and has been used in business contexts since the mid-20th century.

Usage Notes

Common in online shopping, retail stores, and supply chain communications. Customers may see '在庫切れ' as a warning on product pages.
