Has anyone talked with HO lately to see how long the wait for this item on backorder is?? I have two customers who ordered one each at my last show, and they wanted to know if they would be getting them before the thrid week in June, as they are gifts for their son's.

Anyone able to fill me in on how long the wait is??
 
My backorder from May 9 was already shipped and received. You'll get an email telling you when it shipped.
 
same for me, it was less then 2 weeks.
 
The ones from my show on May 16th, arriveed yesterday.
 
mine were shipped yesterday from a show a week ago :)
 
yep, shipping in about a week or so.
 
I just ordered one on Thursday morning and it is scheduled to ship tomorrow morning. So . . . less than 1 week.
 
My two seperate orders both shipped pretty quickly.
  • The one that I ordered for me came about 5 days behind the other items.
  • The one that I ordered for a guest was shipped by HO the day after the guest's original order was shipped.
 
Mine shipped about a week or less from the original order
 
mine took about a week
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean when an item is backordered?

A backordered item is one that is temporarily out of stock but is expected to be restocked and shipped at a later date. This means that while you can still place an order for the item, it will not be shipped until it becomes available again.

How can I find out the estimated waiting time for a backordered item?

You can typically find the estimated waiting time for a backordered item on the product page or in your order confirmation email. If the information is not available, you can contact customer service for an update on the expected restock date.

Will I be charged for a backordered item immediately?

Yes, you will generally be charged for a backordered item at the time you place your order. However, the item will not be shipped until it is back in stock.

Can I cancel my order for a backordered item?

Yes, you can usually cancel your order for a backordered item. It’s best to do this as soon as possible, as cancellation policies may vary depending on the company’s terms and conditions.

What happens if a backordered item takes too long to arrive?

If a backordered item takes longer than expected to arrive, you can reach out to customer service for updates. They may offer alternatives, such as a replacement item or a refund, depending on the situation and their policies.
