Three days ago, I ordered a IIci cache card from MacWarehouse which
they assured me was "on the shelves" and would be shipped tonight via
overnight express. It didn't arrive the next day and when I called to
enquire they told me it was backordered (supposed to be arriving on
12/21) and there must have been someone ordering the card at the same
time and they got the last one.  I bet they just wanted to lock in the
order.

What has everyone else's experiences been with these mailorder reps?
Have many other people found this experience?
