The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk LMC, Brothers, Chevy Duty: Good, bad?

Sometimes I get the feeling back order is just another way companies operate on YOUR money and not theirs. If its "back ordered" it could be that they do not really "stock" the items but have them sent direct. This allows them 30 days to pay their supplier which by that time they have your money and have invested none of theirs. The few companies I've worked for over the years do the same thing. We would order raw material, unload it, process it and ship it out the door and bill the customer within days. That way your cash flow isn't used up. Now, Yes, I know much is kept in stock and I applaud the companies for that but there is a reason for some certain items/parts being back ordered!!
