JE seem to keep a lot in stock and you can actually believe their stock levels, unlike some who order the stuff from the importer after you've paid for it

which is not only dishonest but very annoying as this hobby relies on people being able to order parts on Monday in time for the following weekend.
A lot of shops who deal on ebay seem to have started to do this which is also a bit naughty as it means they're listing something on ebay they don't actually have and I once had to wait 3 weeks for a set of Vorza rear hubs.
Personally if any model shop does this to me I just make a mental note to never, ever purchase anything from them ever again, problem solved.
Are you reading this in the hobby industry?
