When tracking an order online, what does "backorder" mean?

Question

i ordered a cute bag and 2 other items online and i went to track my order and it said 2 of the items were "being processed" and one of them were "on backorder"?

what does that mean?

Answer 1

The store is waiting for more from the factory or distributor. It could take a few days or weeks. It is hard to tell.

Answer 2

When something is on back order it is out of stock. Your item/order will be placed in a priority list when they receive that peticular item and be filled first when item comes in.

Answer 3

It means they did not have it in stock and are waiting to get it so it can be shipped to you.  Hope this helps!!!
