It means they don't have the item in stock and are waiting for more to come in.

Cyberpower doesn't have a very good RR Rating as I would stay away from them. And Steve R Jones expaned what backoreder is all about for you.

make sure to post a review for them once you have received your order or completed the deal.

Another reason for repeated backorders is that you really have no idea how long their waiting list is for the product at hand. So if the demand is great, and they are stupid about ordering enough product, you could be on backorder forever with your supply-challenged resellers.

I would try to cancel the order and buy elsewhere. If you paid with a CC it shouldn't be a problem. At the worst write to your CC company and protest the charge, explaining what happened. The CC company will back you and Cyberpower knows it.
