WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN AN ITEM IS ON BACK-ORDER?

This means that the items are currently out of stock but that there are shipments on their way to re-stock our warehouses. Popular items may sell out quickly and temporarily be on back order. Ordering an item that is currently on back order is a worry-free way to ensure that you will be first in line for the new inventory and that the item which you ordered will be sent out to you as soon as we receive it.
* Items you order in addition to the back ordered item will be held back.
* The back ordered items in any order will automatically ship out as soon as we receive the item in the order which they were placed.
* You will be notified via a shipment confirmation and a tracking number once your items have shipped. You will not need to contact customer support, or do anything to follow up on the back ordered item. We will automatically process it and send you and update.
* We will do our best to estimate when back ordered items are expected to ship, and post this information on the website. This is only an estimation, subject to change, and shipping dates are not guaranteed.
