If a product is merely on backorder, the stores/sites will not take it off their order forms. This is done so they know how many to continue to produce. If they took it off, no orders would be place, manufacturing would cease, and when a small shipment came in they would go on backorder again. It's common practice to continue to sell current items even if they do not have them in stock. At issue with the Bodybugg is that 1. It's the beginning of the year when everyone is working on their "New Year's Resolutions", 2. Biggest Loser just started up again and they promote the Bodybugg, and 3. You can buy one display for the entire family but each member has to have their own armband causing the armband to sell out faster than the display.
It's frustrating and I'm sorry you have to wait. I hope that gives you some clearer understanding of the "why?" question. Good luck.
Anyone ever order from 24hrfitness?
