What is a Sage Books back order?

When placing an order with Sage the product may be temporarily out of stock or has not yet been published. If this occurs, the order will be as a back-order and it will be supplied to you as soon as the title is back in stock or published. 

How will I know if my order will be a back order?

Unfortunately, the Sage Books website does not offer real-time updates on product availability during order placement. The website does include publications dates for upcoming publications. Therefore, if your order is a back order due to stock availability, you will not be informed until the order is completed.

If you have any queries about stock availability, please contact our Customer Services Team.

Will my Credit Card be charged for a back order?

If you purchase a title that is not yet published or is temporarily out of stock, the pending Credit Card transaction will lapse and you will see the funds returned. Once we can supply your order, our system will send a new request to your bank and a new pending transaction will create.

If a title becomes available before the pending transaction has lapsed, a new pending transaction may be created and it may appear that Sage is double charging you. Please be assured, both pending transactions will disappear leaving just a single charge.
