Vendor Backorders

[FenceAdventure]

How do you think the vendors rate in terms of back orders. The reason I ask is that I have grown tired of one in recent months due to back orders. They never seem to have items like shoes, socks, blades, lames and the list goes on and on. I place a order and half of it doesn't arrive but an invoice does stamped back ordered.

Haven't had that problem. Generally everyone has it in stock. I had one outfit that seemed to be too good to be true, out of Brooklyn, NY, that was, well, too good to be true, and it wasn't. Tried to order a bunch of stuff and .... oops, they were out of almost everything because of the Christmas rush, and wouldn't be back up to full stock until Feb and would contact me when they had everything I wanted to order. Still haven't heard back from them. Sounds like you may be trying to deal with them. Good luck.
