The rep that emailed me said it would take 3-5 business days from Thursday for it to become in stock again and then they would ship it out. Im just wondering what your guys opinions on this would be, im not sure weather there actually out, or what. cause the site clearly states they are in stock??? If this is in the wrong section, mods can move it, but i didn't know were else to go. Thanks guys, im hoping it comes in withing the next couple of days.

I think there's nothing to worry about. Some stores just have websites that don't accurately reflect their inventory.

So, I say wait the 3-5 business days and see if you get an e-mail stating that it has shipped. If it hasn't been shipped out by the 6th business day (or late in the afternoon on the 5th business day), then there's either a chance the store is still waiting on mushkin to re-stock their inventory, or the store just received the memory and is just a day or two away from shipping it.

And since this is mushkin, and because mushkin is cool, I recommend contacting them about this to see if they can tell you whether or not they know if DirectCanada.com has this memory in stock, or whether or not mushkin has received any orders from them in order to get their inventory re-stocked so they can fulfill their own orders.

Either way, I say there's nothing to worry about. I used to work for a catalog company who made educational toys, and there were several times where their site said that an item was in stock, but it actually wasn't.

Well, what's done is done and it's all in the past. So, try to stop wishing that you had known it was out of stock. It'll only make you feel negative emotions, and you don't need that! Well, nobody does, but still. Perhaps with this site in particular, you learned that it's a good idea to contact them before you order to see if the item is in stock and then place your oder accordingly. Everything happens for a reason.

Then all I can say is "whew". I'm glad that it didn't get lost in transit. That certainly would have been interesting, to say the least.
