Shipping Dates/Backorders. You must have a reasonable basis for any expressed or implied shipment date or, if you express no date, believe that you can ship within 30 days of receiving the order. This is called the 30-day rule.

If you change the shipment date by providing a delay notice, you must have a reasonable basis for the new ship date. Or you must state you don’t know when you expect to ship.
