What does it mean when an item is backordered?

We generally keep a good supply of all items available on our website. However from time to time we may be out of stock on certain items and unable to get them immediately from our distributors. We will ship the items that we do have on hand, and backorder the remainder of your order. This means that we place a standing order for your items with our distributors, who will ship them immediately to us when they have been received. At that time we will fill the remainder of your order at no added shipping costs. You may of course cancel any backorder at any time prior to the time that it leaves our warehouse.

If you would only like to be shipped what we have on hand and would like to cancel any items that must be backordered, please indicate “No Backorders” in the Comments section at the time of your order.

Why was my credit card charged for more than the total amount of my order?

When you first place your order, Yahoo! Store does not actually charge your credit card. Instead, it places a certain amount of your credit limit “on reserve.” This amount will be slightly higher than the total amount of the order that you have just placed. This is done for the convenience of both the customer and the merchant. Without this reserve system, a customer wanting to add or change items after an order has been placed would have to cancel the initial order and place another order, including supplying all shipping and credit card information again. Likewise, if a merchant found it necessary to cancel certain items from an order or to change shipping charges, a whole new order would have to be placed. Pre-approving a range of dollar amounts with an upper limit allows flexibility for both the customer and the merchant, while still protecting the customer from exorbitant unapproved charges.

Your credit card is actually only charged at the time of shipment, when we are sure that all items are in stock and ready to go. At that time, we will email you the amount of the final charge to your credit card. Please also feel free to check with your credit card company about any charges.
