FAQ
1 Explain the situation Apologize for the inconvenience and thank them for their patience and understanding. Avoid using vague or generic terms like "delayed" or "temporarily unavailable". Instead, use specific and clear language like "backordered until date" or "out-of-stock until date".
An item on backorder is an out of stock product that is expected to be delivered by a certain date once it is back in stock. Businesses will often still sell products on backorder with the guarantee to ship them to the buyer once their inventory has been replenished.
For example, a customer wants to buy a particular flower plant. But the item is currently unavailable for sale. If the customer sees the message 'Available on Backorder', they still can order it, but will have to wait longer than usual to get the flower.
How to manage backorders: Anticipate order demand. Sometimes it's easy to forecast when an item will be in high demand. Diversify between multiple suppliers. Update product pages for backordered items. Provide incentives. Ship products separately. Keep customers updated.
