backordered means

backordered means refers to a situation where a product is temporarily out of stock but is expected to be restocked and shipped later. When an item is backordered, customers are usually notified that the product is unavailable at the moment but can still place an order. The retailer or supplier will fulfill the order as soon as the product is available again. This can happen due to high demand, supply chain delays, or other reasons. Retailers may offer estimated dates for when the item will be back in stock, allowing customers to decide whether to wait for it or cancel their order.
