Do backordered purchases always come through?

Question

I'm trying to purchase an out-of-print dvd that is backordered on the bestbuy, target, amazon, and barnes and noble websites. If I order it from one of these will it really come in 2 to 6 weeks or should I buy a used copy from Amazon? They're on eBay too but I've had problems with receiving pirated dvds through them so I am cautious.

Answer 1

Back orders could take a long time to arrive, if it's an item that is in demand then you have to think about when it comes in what number in line are you to get your copy.

Either way, it will come but it may take a very long time...

Cheers

Answer 2

There is a risk involved everytime you order anything of NOT getting it, or getting some bait and switch stuff.
