Items do not show they are backordered - Buyer beware!
Ordered two SilverStone SDP08B-E Drive Bays from their web site because their price was better than anywhere else. There was no indication that the items were not in stock or would be delayed. In fact the item listing on the web site says "Free Shipping" as well as having a banner: "FREE 2-DAY SHIPPING On Select Items", so I expected quick delivery. When I did not get an order confirmation email after a few days, I emailed them and was told "We are expecting this to ship soon. There have been some delays due to COVID". Two weeks later, I again emailed them. Their response stated: "We are still waiting for more stock to come in from the vendor". Upon hearing this I cancelled the order and will buy from a reliable supplier, albeit for more. In their August 19 response to my original review, EIO referred to a link concerning shipping delays applicable to 3M respirators that does not apply to my order. Neither does their implied threat regarding illegal recordings as all communication was via email. There was no voice communication. I will NEVER buy from EIO.
Response from EIOAug 19, 2020
We've had an announcement on the site since Feb 28 that explained the inventory situation. Nowhere in the order process or site was a 2 week ship time guaranteed. Announcement: https://www.eio.com/blogs/news/update-on-ordering-3m-respirators It is also illegal to record without permission or notification and this has been logged.
