Jeff, you must remember that stores like that often don't keep products in stock... to do so one would need a warehouse to store all the items. They could buy 20 items, sell 13, and the last 7 no one might want, so they loose money on the last of the products. However, if they are the "middle man" and do drop shipping (i.e. they list products they can get for you, you buy the product from them, they then buy the products from their supplier and have it shipped to you). In this way, the companies can be home based and may never personally handle your product (or if they do, it is to ship it to you once they received the package from the supplier).
Who knows why they were so busy they couldn't answer you when you first called.
