Question

What is a backorder i was tryin to buy something and it said back orders?

Answer 1

It means that it isn't in stock at the warehouse that normally sends it.  So they have to wait until they get it from another warehouse or maybe they have to wait until the factory makes more.  But it just means that you have to wait longer than usual as they work out the details to get it to you.

Answer 2

Whoever you are buying from is awaiting stock from their suppliers.

Answer 3

it means whatever you are buying from that store, the store is out of stock. Therefore the store has to wait for the stuff to be delivered to their store before they can ship the stuff out to you.
