Sometimes the item you love isn’t immediately available β€” but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out! On PinoyHive, you can still secure popular or upcoming products through Pre-Orders and Backorders.

Here’s what you need to know before placing your order.


πŸ› What is a Pre-Order?

A Pre-Order allows you to purchase an item before it becomes officially available or released.

This usually applies to:

  • New product launches

  • Limited edition items

  • Imported goods

  • Trending products with high demand

βœ… What to Expect:

  • Extended waiting time before shipping

  • Estimated release or arrival date provided by the seller

  • Limited stock allocation

πŸ“Œ Tip: Pre-ordering helps you secure high-demand items before they sell out.


πŸ“¦ What is a Backorder?

A Backorder happens when an item is temporarily out of stock but will be restocked soon.

Instead of waiting for restocking, you can place your order in advance and receive the item once it becomes available again.

βœ… What to Expect:

  • Restocking timeframe provided by the seller

  • Shipping begins once inventory arrives

  • Possible delays depending on supplier availability


⏳ Processing & Shipping Timeline

For both Pre-Orders and Backorders:

  1. Your order will be confirmed after checkout.

  2. The seller will source or wait for stock arrival.

  3. Shipping will begin once the item is available.

  4. Tracking details will be provided after dispatch.

Delivery times may be longer than regular in-stock items, so please review the estimated shipping timeline before purchasing.


πŸ’³ Payment for Pre-Orders & Backorders

Payment is typically required upfront to reserve your item.

You may use available payment methods such as:

  • Cash on Delivery (if allowed by the seller)

  • E-wallets

  • Debit/Credit Cards

  • Online Banking

πŸ“Œ Note: Some sellers may require non-COD payments for pre-order items.


❌ Can You Cancel Pre-Orders or Backorders?

Cancellation policies may vary depending on the seller.

  • Some pre-orders may not be cancellable once confirmed.

  • Refunds (if eligible) will follow standard processing timelines.

  • Always check the product description for specific cancellation rules.


πŸ“Œ Important Reminders

  • Carefully read the product description and estimated arrival dates.

  • Understand that delays may happen due to supplier or shipping issues.

  • Contact the seller via chat if you need clarification before ordering.

  • Order only if you’re comfortable with the waiting period.
