Does anyone know how long items usually stay on back order. I had a few people order the can strainers before they were on back order but must have just missed out. I am just wondering how long it will take and if it shows up as a package shipment on the shipment status page?

Thanks for your help!

It usually doesn't take long. They should have given you an expected shipping date when they notified you of the back order. Things have always come before that date in the past.

You'll get an email when they ship and it will show up as a separate shipping. They might send something like the can strainers via USPS instead of UPS so there might not be a tracking link with it.

I don't think it gave me an estimated date but I'll go back and check. Thanks!

My email said that they should be shipped on or before April 10th. I've sold a lot of these too, before they were on backorder. Always check your emails, it will tell you on expected shipping date.
 


Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I can tell you that the length of time items stay on back order can vary. It depends on the demand for the product and the availability from our suppliers. Typically, back ordered items can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months to become available again. Unfortunately, it does not show up as a package shipment on the shipment status page until it is actually shipped out. I would recommend keeping in touch with your customers and updating them on the status of their orders. Thanks for reaching out and I hope this helps!
