BTW, they did mention that there is a bug in the software that runs the current site that causes items to be ai green that are not in stock. They have a new website in the works that should fix these issues but didn't say when it would be ready.

I recently ordered from planetx and got a free PX90 jacket thrown in on my order for the trouble they put me through. We kept going back and forth where they didn't have stock on ai green items I wanted. Two weeks of this went by before they were ready to ship. I thought I was just getting a t-shirt but I guess they know how to treat their customers right ;) -drew On 9/25/06, J.T. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > that's cool, but they still have a ways to go -- they claim their catalog is a fairly accurate representation of their stock, but i got ~ 40% fill on my order there just last week -- and one of the records they sent me was the wrong one, which i've now sent back for (hopefully) a replacement for the correct one. by contrast, once i got a wrong record from planet-x, they refunded it's price and just let me keep it, which was much less hassle, and hey free record for their foul-up.. > > > -----Original Message----- > >From: "Thomas D.
