Backorders
How Do Backorders Work?
We aim to provide everything you need, including items that may not currently be in stock. One way we ensure you get the products you want is through our backorder process. Here’s everything you need to know about how it works and why placing a backorder might be the best option for you.
What Is a Backorder?
A backorder occurs when a product is temporarily out of stock, but you can still place an order for it. Once the item becomes available from the supplier or manufacturer, we fulfill your order and ship it to you. Backorders allow you to secure the product you need even when it’s not immediately available.
How Long Will I Wait for a Backorder?
The wait time for a backorder can vary depending on the specific product and the supplier or manufacturer’s production schedule. Many of our backorders are dependent on the time it takes for the supplier to produce and deliver the items to us. If you’re curious about the expected timeline for a specific backorder, feel free to reach out to us! Our team is more than happy to provide an estimate based on the latest information available.
Why Place a Backorder?
Placing a backorder is often better than waiting for the item to come back in stock for several reasons:
- Secures Your Spot: If there’s a major backlog for the product, placing your order ensures you save your place in line. This can be critical for items in high demand.
- Signals Demand to the Manufacturer: When you place a backorder, the supplier or manufacturer receives a purchase order. This lets them know they need to produce that item for our order, speeding up the process.
- Peace of Mind: You don’t have to constantly check for stock updates. Instead, you can sit back knowing your order will be fulfilled as soon as the product becomes available.
Keeping You Updated
We understand how important it is to stay informed about your order. Once you’ve placed a backorder with us:
- Initial Estimate: We’ll give you an estimated timeline for when your product will arrive.
- Follow-Up Updates: If the timeline changes, simply get in touch with us. We’ll provide you with the latest backorder status and any adjusted delivery date.
