I ordered a Netgear FVS318 (DSL router) from Page Computer. They confirmed the order via e-mail. That evening, I received another e-mail from them saying that when they went to pull my order, it was discovered that the item was out of stock. They also said "After receiving your order we researched availability from over 40 affiliated warehouses but unfortunately your desired product was not available." They went ahead and cancelled my order.
although I am disappointed that they couldn't fill the order, I think that their attempts to fill it, and the fact that they cancelled the order instead of holding on to it for an indefinite period of time shows that they are an excellent vendor.
