Clarence, MasterRepair/ArmidilloBros:

I've encountered another source of frustration: Of the 4 vendors I ordered from on thursday, only two have confirmed. A fifth vendor I placed an order with on friday hasn't been heard from yet either. Anybody got a feeling for what kind of turnaround is normal? Do these places just print hardcopy of the online orders and get around to them whenever? (If they don't eat lunch off them.<g>) I suppose I've gotten used to instant fills in the market and expect everyone else to match that performance. Planning to start looking for trouble tomorrow, anyway.

I'll let you know if any of my check-backs with MR/AB yield anything.

We may have to regard deals as have been reported from MR/AB as opportunities to be seized when available - but not counted on as a stable resource.

Regards,

Paul

I called both and inquired into P810, 813, 815. They had none of any in stock and didn't know when they would have. MR couldn'd give me a price on P815 saying it depends....... Try again next week.

I was in Armadillo Brothers last week and while I was there two other people ask the same question you are asking. I over heard the salesman tell them it would be several weeks and none of the requesters got a firm date.
