What does it mean if an item is on backorder?

Asked a year ago
If an item is on backorder, it means that the product is currently out of stock and unavailable for immediate shipment. However, customers can still place an order for the item, and it will be shipped to them as soon as it becomes available again. Backorders occur when the demand for a particular item exceeds its supply temporarily. ChristianBook.com strives to provide a wide range of products to meet customer needs, but occasionally certain items may experience delays in restocking. In such cases, customers can still secure their desired item by placing a backorder, ensuring that they will receive it as soon as it is back in stock. ChristianBook.com values customer satisfaction and works diligently to minimize backorder situations and update customers on the estimated wait time for their desired products.
