How Do You Handle A Back Order In Dropshipping?

A backordered item is a blank garment or accessory that is not currently available from a manufacturer or distributor. When we choose items to stock we take into consideration their ongoing availability to reduce the likelihood of backorders. However, backorders still happen from time to time.

If you place a dropship order for an item that is backordered, we will email you with the closest possible substitute product. This could be a similar product from a different manufacturer, a similar color from the same manufacturer, or a close size of the same product. In order to fulfill your orders quickly, we will notify you of a backorder via email and our recommended replacement option. You will have 24 hours to respond, if we don’t hear back from you, we will proceed with our recommended option.

If you want to be proactive in reducing the chances of a back order, here's what we recommend.
