I like shopping at Brothers (they are local for me), but....
I don't understand how a company this big does not track inventory.
As soon as a customer places a website order, it should tell the customer whether or not the item is in stock or back-ordered, then give the customer the option of cancelling the back-ordered item before they pay.
Logistics is a complicated concept, but now-a-days it seems that inventory tracking software should be able to handle the job.
In the future, I will be calling in my orders.
Just my $0.02
