you ABSOLUTLY NEED to change your website so it says back ordered before you even start the check out. cause it was a compleat waste of my time and others as well

also you lost a sale because i went with some one else ( got the 1/4 instead of the 1/3rd cause they were back ordered there as well) you guys do a great job. but just need to work on a few things

Hi Goda,

Thanks for the response and for your feedback. Currently, the shopping cart on our website will inidicate if an item is back ordered under the "eta" column which will say if they item will ship the same day or if there will be a delay.

Unfortunately, it does happen where we receive more orders than we have inventory in a short period of time. When that happens, the shopping cart may not accurately reflect the status on that item.

Sorry again for the inconvenience.
