ard until AFTER your order is shipped - even if the stuff is backordered.
If they don't have the item in stock, they offer to cancel the order
immediately and again after thirty days (they notify me when the thirty
days has elapsed).  I just ordered some stuff from 47th Street - the camera
and lens came in right away, but the tripod and mount were backordered.
When I made the order, I was assured that all was in stock.  In addition,
my credit card was charged for the whole order even though only half of it
was filled.

Oh well.  Not all mail order places are created equal.
