I just order whats in stock. Then what's on backorder I order those items for a second order, your card won't be charged till your items ship. Plus if you look at your backorder items in the same cart with in stock orders look at the estimated arrival date it's the date of the longest backorder. Some same they ship items that's in stock but on my order they waited till all items was in stock to ship. Held my new 200 dollar reel up for a month or so because I had a lure that cost 13.99 on backorder. Won't make that mistake again. Hope this helps someone.
