Backordered Wii Fit Bundle at Gamestop?

Question

Yesterday I ordered a Wii Fit Bundle from Gamestop.com

http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductD...

I just cheked the status of my order, and everything is back ordered.

Does this mean my order won't be shipped on September 5th?

I don't know anything about pre ordering stuff on Gamestop so I'm a little confused.

Answer 1

I bought mine using the same Bundle from GameStop.  It actually shipped earlier than predicted when I placed my order.

So the date is just an estimate, it could hit it, or could miss it.

Answer 2

Back-ordered and pre-ordered are not the same thing.  Wii Fit has already been released, so you can't pre-order it anymore.  Right now, it's back-ordered... meaning it's been released, but the store does not have any left in stock to fill the remaining orders for it.  If it's back-ordered, it cannot be shipped to you until the store receives more of them, so no, unless they receive a shipment between now and the 5th, they can't ship it to you on the 5th.

Answer 3

Backordered just mean that the item isn't in stock.  It will ship as soon as there are more in supply, and it's going to be a first come first serve basis.  So if you were 10th in line, and only 9 Wii bundle got it, you won't get it until another shipment arrives.

There's a chance that it will ship on the 5th if GS gets a shipment of Wii Fit from Nintendo.
