Tellimustel

Tellimustel is an Estonian term used in retail and e-commerce to indicate that a product is not immediately available in stock and must be procured from a supplier after an order is placed. The phrase describes items that are supplied on demand, often because they are custom-made, limited, or temporarily out of stock.

In practice, tellimustel items appear on product pages or catalogs with a note that they are available by order rather than from immediate inventory. This status signals longer lead times than standard in-stock items and typically means that the retailer will provide an estimated delivery date once the order is created. Tellimustel products can include customized goods, special editions, or items that require procurement from external suppliers.

Implications for customers include the possibility of longer delivery times, the need to confirm availability before purchase, and potential variations in delivery schedules. Pricing may be fixed at the time of order, but in some cases it can change if market conditions or supplier costs vary, and some orders may require a deposit or specific ordering instructions. Returns and cancellations for tellimustel items can differ from standard stock policies, so customers are advised to review the retailer’s terms for such orders.

Tellimustel is related to broader inventory statuses such as in stock and backorder, and is comparable to terms like pre-order in other languages. See also: stock status, backorder, pre-order.
