At Kaleidoscope, we offer our customers the option to backorder items that are currently out of stock. This feature allows you to reserve products without commitment — no pre-payment is required, and you're not locked in. It's a great way to ensure you get the items you want as soon as they become available. We also use these backorder numbers to assist us with ordering from our suppliers, helping us to better manage inventory and ensure timely restocking of popular items.
