backorder usually means they've oversold in the first place and have had to order in new stock to cover existing orders...they should have been able to let you cancel it, as it obviously hadn't gone anywhere when you rang!! Hope it all turns out for you!
Yay, thats great news. Very stressful this shopping lark isnt it!!! :1:
What a relief they've turned up Calico, any chance of a photo?
