Backordered! But Why?

You finally find a plus size dress that you love, it’s new, it’s fresh, it’s priced perfectly. Excited, you pick your color / size and you’re ready to finalize your order. But wait, there’s a message. ‘Sorry your item has been Backordered, expected date of delivery sometime in the next 15 years’! Ugh! So frustrating.

What’s with this backorder stuff anyway? So, it’s a new item, but it’s not in stock? Perplexing.

Well fortunately, this is an issue in the plus size retail world that’s hopefully soon to end. This points to old buying habits of plus size retailers. Many years ago, when shopping on the internet was unheard of, buyers of plus size clothing would buy new items based on 70-80% of what they thought the item would sell. This being the best way to give a plus size item a test drive. As an example- a plus size wrap dress (new), estimates to sell 1000 pieces, a buyer will typical fulfill an order to buy 800 pieces. It’s a conservative way to cut down on overstock because if the plus size consumer doesn’t buy the item, it’s a miss for the retailer.

Enter the web.

With the popularity of shopping on the internet, plus size retailers often times have a hard time keeping up with demand. Chances are if you really loved that plus size wrap dress, many other curvy girls did as well. So it’s first come, first serve. As an item sells out, the next step is to re-order. Keep in mind, a large majority of plus size items gets shipped from overseas so there is a waiting period. A long one.. Think turtle with a broken leg. The items arrive at distribution centers and get shipped to the curvy customer.

The practice that buyers use to buy new plus size clothing is finally changing. Realizing the web is a major point of sale, they’re upping their orders, often times matching the amounts they’re buying for repeat items. Good new!
