Update. I called Starline again, this week, to talk about the status of my order. Unlike the previous attempt, this time I got some real answers and info (not that I liked it, but it is what it is).
When you go onto the backorder list, this only means you have a "place in line" (the CS rep's words). No idea how close or far back you are, and they can't or won't tell you. In this case, even though I "had a place in line", the current run has run out. They will do another run, but no word on when. So if you're willing, you can keep your place in line until your number comes up. But it might not even come up in the next batch.
Well I thanked her and asked for my order to be cancelled today. She did so graciously and sent me an email to document it.
Just be advised, when you order on a "backorder", there's no guarantee you will get your brass this time, next time, or whenever..... just that "you have a place in line."
For more commonly run brass that's probably ok. For 6 Arc, she did not know when the next run was even going to be.
I did also tell her that I use starline in several other calibers, and that I'll be back... just did not want to wait an indeterminate time for an indeterminate shipping.
