What is a backorder?

Have you ever did a backorder before? If yes, how long did it take for the item to become available? and do they charge you when you ordered even though they did not ship yet?

My roommate ordered a QCK heavy that was on backorder. It took NCIX a couple weeks before they shipped out, and there was no extra charge applied. 

 

It really depends on who you buy from though. Expect to wait up to a couple weeks for a backorder.

 

EDIT: They do charge at checkout.

But did they charge him when he click "buy" or when they actually ship the thing?
