Hi Gang
Do`nt you just hate it when......You`re shopping on a website for a particular kit,you find it,THEN after you`ve input all your details - name,address,bank details and all the other stuff,YOU GET TOLD THE BLASTED THING IS OUT OF STOCK !!!.
Is it so damn hard to show live stock levels online nowdays - i know no system is perfect (i work in a warehouse so i know about stuff being booked in wrong and stuff not being there for one reason or another ).
I wo`nt name the website for obvious reasons but to me this is just shoddy practice,anyone else had this experience?.

Thankfully no, my preferred online dealer is actually over-conservative

I share your pain Danny, before Christmas I ordered some items from a well known UK website that specialises in ships next I get part of my order and an invoice note saying the other items are out of stock and on back order. What is so frustrating is that the items out of stock are extra parts and ref material for the kits that did get sent.

Come on guy's live stock levels please
