[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 16652422, member: 6727"] With all of the companies under the Amazon umbrella, they do a pretty good job of keeping the consumer informed as far as current availability of items. It would be great if vendors went a step further to ensure that availabilities noted on their websites were up to date. Obviously that is not always possible, but the customer has to have faith in what the vendor is stating, as far as availability. IMO if an item is going to be drop-shipped by a manufacturer and the availability is other than "in stock", then there should at least be a notation on the vendor site that states that parts are being shipped directly from the manufacturer and may be delayed depending on manufacturer availability. Either that or both manufacturer and retailer should have access to real-time numbers. The former would be easier to implement than the latter, but might impact vendor sales if the customer doesn't want to risk not getting an item he or she needs. Personally, I'd rather know up front if an item may not be immediately available for shipping. Just tell me the estimated ship date. Or let me be notified when it's available to ship. I then at least have options. Customers need to be able to trust that an item they are ordering that states "in stock" IS, indeed, in stock and will ship within a day or two (or reasonable normal time). JMO. [/QUOTE]
