Explanation of backorder / no backorder
When
you mark “no backorder” on your Perma-Bound order, they will hold
the order until it is 100% complete, or until the “requested
delivery date” nears.
Marking “backorder
yes” will allow Perma-Bound to send the in-stock items in a first
shipment, followed by future backorder shipments as books become
available.
Any further
instructions you put in the special messages box at checkout, or on
your purchase order, are very helpful.
Here are some
examples:
“Please release
this order for shipment asap, placing the unavailable titles on
backorder for up to 2
months. Order must be finalized by 4/15/10”
“Please hold this
order for maximum fulfillment, with one shipment to be received by
05/10/10”
"Send available titles ASAP and cancel all unavailable titles"
