Servo City order situation

Hello all-
I visited the Servo City dot com web site last week and placed an order for
some odds & ends for a project that I have in the works. They offer secure
ordering through the web site, and that is a good thing.  I placed my order
and the next day received email stating that several of the items were
back-ordered and that those items had been out of stock  'for some time
now'.   The problem I have is that when I selected what I wanted to buy,
right next to the 'ADD TO SHOPPING CART' box,  all of the items were shown
to be 'IN STOCK'.  I was never given any information when those items would
be available.  Frustrated, I cancelled my order with Servo City.  I have
ordered the items from another vendor--via the web.

I have had excellent results with them and their prices are very
competitive with Servo City.

Although so far I am batting 1000 with Servo City, and I get a lot of stuff
from them, I have had this experience with other vendors, where the web site
does not do a very good job of keeping accurate stock. It's very annoying to
find out after the fact that your items are unnavailable for immediate
shipping. I hope this doesn't become a Servo City trend, I like them!

It is frustrating and can be a problem. One thing is for sure, if a company
has website make sure it is updated and accurate! However, other companies
have the same issues.

I just made a purchase from an outfit that only deals via their webpage
and all of their prices were out of date as well!  When I recieved my
order, it almost went back, but I needed everything.  I won't be
purchasing again from them real soon
