How To Backorder Boat Accessories without Payment
As you may have found in your search for boat accessories, there is a nationwide backorder for many of the top products such as the Power-Pole Trolling Motor, Mega 360, Mega Imaging, Livescope, trolling motors, shallow water anchors, lithium batteries, and more.
How to Create a Backorder
To create a backorder, simply add the item to your shopping cart and then checkout like normal. When you get to the payment method, choose "Check by Mail" instead of Credit Card. This will allow you to create an order in our system without providing any payment information. The item will get committed to your order when our shipment arrives. If you no longer need it when we call you, then we'll simply cancel the order.
Do I need to pay a deposit or give you my credit card info?
No. We do not take your payment information. No deposit, no card on file. Instead, you will choose "Check by Mail" at checkout instead of Credit Card. If you are prompted for credit card information, then go back one step in the checkout process.
Do I have to pay with a check when my order is ready?
No. You will have the option to pay with a credit card by phone, or we will send you a PayPal invoice, or you can mail us a check and we will ship the same day you mail the check with tracking.
Do I have to buy it when it comes in?
No. If you no longer need it when we call you, then we'll simply cancel the order.
What happens when the backordered item comes in?
We will text you to ask if you still want the item. You can simply reply NO and we will cancel the order. It's that simple. If we don't hear from you within a day, then we will call you and email you. If we don't hear back from you within a reasonable time frame, then we will set your order status back to "backorder" and contact you when the next shipment arrives.
What if I find one somewhere else?
No problem. We would appreciate it if you let us know, but that's not necessary. When it arrives, we will reach out. If you no longer need it, then we ask that you respond quickly so we can move on to the next customer. No hard feelings!
What is the ETA?
This varies depending on the brand and even the specific product you're looking for.
Minn Kota, Minn Kota, Lowrance, Garmin
Unfortunately, they don't give us any ETAs. We have been getting truckloads from them every week. They just send us whatever they're building. When we get the truck, then we commit the items to our backorders and call customers to let them know their order is ready.
