Lots of back-orders...

**DrNic** · 08-23-2010, 04:06 AM

Has anyone else noticed that suddenly LOTS of things are on back-order? It seems like everywhere I go to try to buy something online these days things are on back-order. In the last 2 months I've had all kinds of items, some related to fish, some not, that were on back-order for more than 2 weeks. Worst of all the websites never seem to inform you that things are on back order until a week after you place the order when you never get a shipping confirmation.

I find it really annoying, but has anyone else had issues with this?

I rarely order on-line...but I imagine due to the economy, no one wants a lot of money tied up in inventory...

Demand might be getting bigger again and they haven´t adjusted to that yet.

Yes, I've had two separate (non fish-related) orders in the past month that have been on back order. One just arrived, still waiting for the second... it's pushing 4 weeks now! Grr.

Ordered a hard drive for a laptop a few weeks ago, got a back order notice in email. The day it finally arrived, they sent the wrong drive. Though I can't really complain since they sent the 640gb instead of the 500gb. Not sure if it was an honest mistake on their part or if they sent it as a replacement substitute.

Ive been waiting on a light fixture on Petsolutions to come in stock for over a month, the time keeps getting pushed back. I just ordered from BigAls some general food and things and fortunatly it was all in stock
