Nice people! Old school customer service. The web ordering isn't
"modern". But they don't make a lot of money at this, I'm sure. So
I.T. people are probably out of the question. But your order gets
underway in about 48 hours.....

Bull. SS of N is one place I will never buy from again. They do not
remove out-of-stock items from their website when sold out, but they
continue to take orders for them. In a couple of days, they notify you
the item is no longer in stock, thereby wasting your time you could
have spent looking elsewhere. This has happened to me several times.

Actual phone conversation:

Me: Can you check stock on part number xxxx?
Them: No.

No explanation, no "sorry", nothing but "no". These are not my kind of
people.
