I think you will find that a lot of online stores drop ship. They may carry stock of common items, anything else will have to be ordered in, despite giving the impression that the goods are available in store.

Correct, that's why they are cheaper than a "proper" shop, they keep nothing, just a person with a computer taking orders (and money) and passing the order on to a cheap supplier then getting them to ship direct.

Send them a follow up email and see what answer you get.

Nah i will likely delete the mail Shakey i have had my email account 20+ years and i often forget when i email people and the reply comes back aweek or two later i usually just skim thru my mail and bulk delete so i'll likely miss it

I'll hang tight for 3 weeks after the purchase and see if it shows up if it doesnt i'll give arnolds a call

Anyone know what’s going on this time? The website has gone dark for days now. Is this the end of Arnold’s?

I waited 2.5 weeks after placing my order in january got a bit pissed as i heard nothing at all about my order the phone number on there web site was removed i called paypal who gave me there number and email address, i had to email them to cancel the order i found out arnolds left me hanging for over 2 weeks waiting for my order to ship when i got in contact they said it would be a further 2-3 week wait

I cancelled the order and receieved a speedy refund

I asked them for a price for Raymarine autopilot recently and they were best price and said good to order
But when I read reviews that said impossible to telephone them I thought - nah pass on that one
Saving $50 on a $3k order and unable to contact

I heard some guys lost several thousands of dollars as arnolds went into administration some were trying to do a cash bake charge on there credit cards but a lot of customers are at a loss

Trading while insolvent is a very serious thing to do, however, taking orders and then going broke is a whole different ballgame, and people caught in that scenario are out of pocket.
