Don't dis them for providing the service that they claim to provide. If you'd read the info page on cdeurope.com before ordering, you'd know that they don't carry any stock. Their catalogue is a union of the catalogues of their suppliers, with whom they'll place an order when they receive your order. As we all know, just because the supplier lists a release doesn't mean that it actually exists, not that it hasn't been deleted. So CDE won't generally know the status of particular items. They actually say right at the top of the information page that they can't guarantee that all the items in the catalogue are actually available. If an item is out-of-stock or unavailable, you can (at your option) have them continue to try to get hold of it, or send you a refund. -cosmic
