This is the 3rd time it has happened to me now. I've purchased something from an Australia website, that hold themselves out as holding it in stock. They make no mention of the fact they don't hold the stock or that they are ordering it in when you order it. So I've paid my money and after a week of not receiving it or tracking info, I follow up and get told they don't have stock and are waiting on it. Usually in a condesending BS tone.
First time was about a 3 week wait.
2nd occasion (admittedly from the same website, so maybe I'm the slow learner) was about 3 months.
3rd time, now from another website... its been over 3 weeks and Im told it is shipping from the US. Although it still hasn't been picked up by a courier. Apparently the labour day long weekend is to blame...
I appreciate, it's a niche car with low volumes in aftermarket parts. But how about they put that on the website and let us make an informed decision prior to purchasing. Sometimes I would wait, others I wouldn't.
So from now on I'm verifying that they have it on the shelf before I purchase anything.
