[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 6456673, member: 19675"] [[i]mostinterestingmanintheworld[/i]]I don't do much online shopping, but when I do, I'm serious about it.[/[i]mostinterestingmanintheworld[/i]]. And yet, several times over the past 18 months, I have encountered retailers that don't bother to monitor and/or update their websites, costing me purchases. Some highlights: 1) I've had my overnight online purchase of a guitar negated by an in-store sale the following morning. 2) I've had a transaction cancelled because the last available unit was defective. (I appreciate this, but shouldn't they have figured this out beforehand?) 3) During the hunt for one particular guitar, I actually had the maker ascertain whether a certain website was accurately listing a whole flotilla of them, only to find out that page hadn't been updated in more than a year- all had been sold. 4) several retailers I emailed sales inquiries to have not answered. They've had weeks if not months. Some are rumored to have gone out of business- I'm investigating this- but others are CLEARLY announcing new sales and products. And why am I venting tonight? Well, after completing a transaction for a pedal this weekend while all the online sales were going on, just a few minutes ago, I received notification that the transaction was cancelled due to lack of availability. Not only will I not get my pedal in 2 days, if I can find another, it will probably cost me an extra $50. [/QUOTE]
