Tilattavissa

Tilattavissa is a Finnish term used in retail and e-commerce to indicate that a product is not currently in stock but can be ordered from the supplier or manufacturer. The label signals that an order must be placed to obtain the item, and delivery is typically planned after the supplier processes the order. The word is formed from the verb tilata (to order) and the participial form tilattava, with the inessive ending -ssa, yielding the meaning “in a state that can be ordered” or simply “orderable.”

Usage and context

Tilattavissa appears on product pages, catalogs, and price lists to distinguish items from those available immediately in stock (varastossa) or from items that are discontinued. It helps customers understand that availability depends on supplier stock and that delivery times may be longer than for in-stock products. Information accompanying tilattavissa items often includes an estimated delivery date, backorder terms, or instructions for placing a pre-order.

Limitations and expectations

As a status, tilattavissa does not guarantee immediate fulfillment. Orders may be subject to supplier stock levels, backorders, minimum quantities, or update cycles in catalogs. Retailers typically provide a rough delivery window and potential changes if supplier conditions shift.
