A “back-order” is when an item is temporarily unavailable but will be re-stocked in a few weeks. You can then place your order and pay for the item and the item will be shipped to you free of charge when it is in stock. An item is “sold out” when it is permanently unavailable, gone, zip, you’ve missed your chance!
