Product in stock when ordered
Product in stock when ordered. After waiting one week for tracking, I emailed for status with no response. I then left message on site contact form with no response. I then called and had to leave message which was returned at 7 pm that night and was told product was out of stock and would not be back in stock until next month. No attempt to inform me of delays or issues and it took three attempts to get status. I immediately canceled order and went to their competitor who had exact same product in my hands two days later. It goes without saying I will never use this company and I repeat my experience every chance I get. Consider yourself lucky for the second star.

HI Rick, We apologize for the inconvenience. Looking into the order details it looks like this order was placed on 3/9/17 and processed for fulfillment the same day. The items in this order ship direct from the manufacture's warehouse here in California and although the items did show the product was in stock at the time the order was placed, the manufacturer ran out shortly thereafter. We do keep real time inventory. However, there could be a number of things that effect the stock level. In this order case it was most likely due to multiple orders being placed within a short time frame. So, by the time your order was pulled for fulfillment they were out of stock. An email was sent on 3/10/17 to the email address we have on file in regards to the back order notification with estimated ship date of mid April 2017. On 3/16/17 at approximately 1pm PST we received an email request in regards to status on this order. Our customer service team contacted the manufacturer to get an updated ETA on expected delivery. Once the updated ETA was provided by the manufacturer, one of our customer service reps contacted the customer via phone at approximately 4pm PST with an update. (This would have been the reason for a 7PM call as we are in California). Our customer service rep was instructed to cancel the order. The order was cancelled and refunded in full. Again, our apologies for any inconvenience this may have cause.
