Stock Overdue?

[dazbizkit]

Im building a new computer. theres a case and a graphics card i want but the site says 'STOCK OVERDUE'. does this mean they have ordered some more but they haven't arrived yet, or they are discontinuing them?

thanks

Well, when something is overdue, it usually means it's late...so I'd think that it means that they're on backorder. If you want to be certain, send an email to them.

Certain places, ie. www.ebuyer.com When they say stock overdue, they mean that they're not selling it anymore.

surely if they have stopped selling it they would of taken it out of the catalogue :S

nope, its good marketting to lock in the customer then offer them an alternative. Short sales, for long term reputation damage

ok maybe your right but im sure ive seen a stock overdue product come back in stock, tons of times.

does anyone recommend any english sites like ebuyer?

Yea, it does, but sometimes they wont bother getting stock in for it.

Ive found out what it means, i went onto the 'contact us' section and found it on the eNotes section. i was gonna send an eNote but they had the information i needed below.

"Stock Overdue - The product is on order from our suppliers and is expected in the next couple of days"

so you my friend, was wrong lol

We all know what the web site say, but what is says and what it does are whoefully different!
Maybe it will come back in stock, but don't hold your breathe

dnt worry im not

but why would they say that they will have it back in stock and leave customers waiting, surely that would give them a bad reputation for being unreliable

It may be that they hope to get some in, or that they dont want the search engines to lead to dead links, or that the cost-benefit is just right to allow it, who knows?

Its not like its a huge problem, normally its only on 1 or 2 stock lines

 

[dazbizkit]

yer there could me many reasons.

anyway, i hope they come back in stock, im so close to ordering and i dont want to have to wait or spend anymore money (im already spending £1250!)

Ive been waiting for the UV PSU cover for almost 2 years to become in stock. Its always said Stock Overdue, until a few months ago when i asked them when they were getting them in, and they said they hadnt had any in for along time and weren't planning on buying any more, thats when they took it off.
