One thing they can do sometimes is transfer an item that's available at another store to their own store for you. However, I think they're a bit stricter about doing that these days, due to the cost of shipping. But if the employees at the store know you, they'll usually oblige.
Oddly, I've never seen them do a transfer from the main warehouse. But I guess if it's in the main warehouse, you could just order it online, assuming that inventory isn't being held for other pre-orders. The stock availability just shows if an item is there. It doesn't show if it's reserved for someone already. This is the same for in-store availability that appears online.
Hope that helps.

I guess it depends on the store... Mine has had no trouble checking and ordering from the warehouse or transfer from another store if it's available, even the "random" stuff, they can can order a whole box so that you get the one you want. Heck, some items where fairly "old"stuff and it wasn't an issue at all.
Also, most time when something is out of stock online, including pre-orders, they are able to still order it.
