What Does “Additional is Backordered” Mean?
When you see “Additional is Backordered” on BarBits.co.uk, it means part of your order is ready to ship, and the remaining items are being prepared within our UK network of fulfilment centres. These items are usually transferred and ready to dispatch within 1-2 working days. This is a normal part of how we manage stock across multiple locations.
BarBits operates several fulfilment centres and warehouses across the UK. Because stock is stored in different locations, some items may need to be moved internally before we can complete your order. This does not mean the product is unavailable – it is simply being prepared or transferred so your entire order can be sent together.
How Our Backorder Process Works
If your order contains items from different warehouses, we locate where each product is held.
Any items stored at another fulfilment centre are transferred to our main dispatch warehouse. This transfer usually takes 1-2 working days.
While this happens, we hold the full order to make sure all items arrive at the same warehouse.
Once everything is in the correct location, your complete order is picked, packed, and dispatched together in one parcel.
If you select Next Day Delivery, the next-day service begins once all items have arrived at the same fulfilment centre, ensuring your full order arrives together.
This process ensures your order is checked, consolidated, and shipped correctly, while avoiding split shipments or missing items.
Why an Item Might Show as Backordered
BarBits uses a multi-location fulfilment network across the UK to keep stock flowing efficiently. Sometimes an item may appear as backordered even when it is already within our system. Reasons include:
Stock being transferred between regional warehouses
Items held at a satellite fulfilment centre
Internal stock moves to consolidate orders
High demand causing temporary stock balancing
In many cases, “Backordered” simply means the product is already within our network and being moved to the correct warehouse for fast dispatch, normally adding only 1-2 working days.
How Long Does It Take?
Additional items normally arrive at the dispatch warehouse within 1-2 working days. Once everything is together, the full order is dispatched immediately. If we anticipate any delay beyond this, we will contact you.
Do Backorders Cost Extra?
No – there are no additional charges for items that require internal transfers or are on backorder.

If you are not entirely happy or if your item arrives damaged, we are here to assist with returns or replacements in line with our policy.
