BAV Auto and backordered parts <wob>

["jun lim" <jun_l@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It may be unethical to charge your card days before shipping but most of 
the vendors I have dealt with charges for all the parts and only ship 
what is in stock.  This happens even when I ask specifically if they 
have the items in stock. Usually the answer is yes but when I get the 
shipment there's always something backordered.  I have waited over 2 
months for some backordered parts that were already charged and paid 
for.  Most of the time the vendor doesn't even call to let you know if 
something is in backorder.  This can be a pain if you already put the 
car up on stands.
Any suggestions?

Thanks Jun

On another note, Duane mentioned that it was illegal to charge your card 
and not ship at that time.  He's mostly right.  Though this is a state 
by state decision, many states have a time limit between the time you 
charge and the time you must ship.  This is a logistic concession.  You 
may have the part in a another part of the country, or the time between 
taking the order and processing may be a few days, so you can charge and 
ship within a given period (in CA I thinks it's something like 72 hours.  
I've seen other state that gave you up to 10 business days.  Go figure).  
For the most part it's an ethical call.
