What’s the difference? What are chances of getting either? Thank you.

Waitlist - QVC is requesting the manufacturer to produce more to fulfill the list.

Backorder - an item will go to backorder because the inventory QVC was originally advised of was incorrect. QVC generally gives the manufacturer two weeks to produce/obtain more.

@dulwich. I'd like to add that I think with waitlist you have a chance of getting some of the original stock you ordered from if people cancel or don't send in checks, which wouldn't be the case with backorder since there is no inventory to pick from. Mod Beth should feel free to correct me please if I'm wrong.

@Pearlee I kind of felt that way when backorder appeared - think I will cut my losses and cancel but stick with waitlist one! As we say - always something else around the corner!

Glad I waited and did not cancel my backorder from yesterday as today it is in process - hooray!

Wow @dulwich. Maybe someone else canceled hers. Are these items on your OP LOGO?

@Pearlee I thought the waitlist would maybe go in process first as I received e mail that the backorder may not be available so was surprised when it went in process next day - both Logo items. Anyway let’s hope it arrives!
