ya know what gets my goat???

when you order a few things from an online store and half of the stuff not in stock. They let you order it, they let you pay for it, but when they invoice you through email after the trasaction clears, they then tell you its backordered, but they charge you anyway???

WTF?oke:

That's not good business, and I'd wager may not even be legal under some circumstances.

I think it's illegal as well. Maybe it depends on the state.

Eben - it might be a good idea to let us know who you are having the problem with. Probably prevent someone else having the same dilemma. I always call on the landline before placing a solid order and verify stock......

I had the same thing happen. No order, no e-mail for weeks. I contacted them and they said that half my order was backordered. I said fine ship what you have. Next time keep me up to speed. Sorry to see that they still don't have the hang of it after nearly 2 years. I don't trade with them anymore either.

Back orders

They never send them like they say they are going too. One of my suppliers.......for the flie stuff I make always says we'll send it along when it becomes available. Never arrives. I'll call with an another order and ask about prior order/backordered stuff. Thier reply, "Oh would you still like those items." One would think that they would have a computor program that would handle this. When it become available, its in stock now, ship it, pleeeaaassseee!
