Most of the time when I order from online and I never see any back order indications on the site, I call and check. The only exception is when I don't care if its backordered on me. Never have really had a problem except with the one I had some difficulty getting on the phone and then they just didn't get the sale b/c they simply just didn't care to communicate when the thing was in stock. Wasn't one of the mentioned ones though. Not many vendors have a direct connect to the inventory warehouse computer on their web site. The ones that do are pretty obvious and even then when sales are high, it may catch where my order got in just a split second too late. Over all though, on line has worked very well for me.
Good point.we should keep as much in "family" as possible.
