I've gotten to the point now that if something isn't in stock and ready to ship, I don't order it. I'm tired of my money sitting in limbo for stuff on backorder. The project can just sit and wait, I'll move on to something else.
I've gotten to postpone backodering like you for same reasons. On one part I did backorder, when it arrived 6 months later, a friend had alresdy sold me the part when cleaning out his garage. When the backodered part arrived later on, it dumbfounded me until I remembered ordering it so many, many moons before. Good advice above^.
