I would like to make it possible to order items which I don't have in stock, but it seems if I want to allow backorders, I must have the item listed as "in stock", which looks weird if people order it and then get the message that it's not in stock anyway.
Is there a solution to this problem? I would like to make it possible to add out-of-stock items to the basket and list them as as either "in stock" or "not in stock – delivery time 5-6 days". But I can't find a way to 1) allow not-in-stock goods to be put in the basket and 2) change "not in stock" to "delivery time 5-6 days".
