Re: Backorder! What does it mean?

Backorder means they sold more than what was available for immediate shipment, but they are confident that the manufacturer can provide the additional inventory to fulfill the orders. This differs from Waitlist because with that the retailer (in this case QVC) does not know for sure that your order will be fulfilled.
