I was looking at an item and saw it on the Andertons website for £45.
It was out of stock but due in mid March.
The same item on Ebay is around 50% higher, depending on the seller.
If I order on the Andertons website are they going to get it in, or am I just going to be refunded a month or so down the line?
Just curious really as I have read of some right sneaky goings on with retailers within this forum. I don't mind waiting, but don't want to waste my time.

Also they have blowout deals on discontinued items but they big it up and promote it but never have in stock with lead times quoted as much as 4-8 weeks
Don’t trust them. Look elsewhere
This is what I heard previously, hence my post.
Will I get the truth, or just what I want to hear?
I'm a bit cynical I'm afraid.
Once I placed the order, I got an email the next day with an update of the estimated delivery date, which was actually a few weeks before the estimate showing on their site. They missed that date, but I got another email explaining the supplier date had slipped along with a new estimated date. Included with the emails was also the email address to contact should I have any queries or wanted to cancel.
In the end I got the item a week or so before the original estimated date shown when I ordered.
Seems reasonable.
Thanks for the advice guys.
I am afraid I am just overly cynical, whilst having had no issue with Andertons previously when going into the shop I reach a whole new level of distrust when it comes to ordering things that are a lot cheaper than they should be but out of stock!
However they never put their price up, and having just checked the other usual online suppliers, they have now dropped prices to match.
Had a lead time of 2 - 3 months on original estimate, given the option for full refund all along. Got the item within 3 weeks of order, so was pretty pleased
Just an update., the pedal that was due in on March 20th is still out of stock and now due in on April 6th.
Is this just a stalling tactic, or am I being paranoid?
You could have had it by now for an extra £25 elsewhere.

I know, I know.
I just got it in my mind I'd wait until they came in and make do with what I've got until then.
To be honest I've not actually needed it, it was just something I really liked the look of and wanted.

No used ones on the 'bay or on here.
Oh, and just to confuse matters further TC have released a new pedal which might be a better choice, but is on a 3 week lead time.
Maybe it was a sign..................
I was in e-mail communication with Anderton's and, simultaneously, keeping an eye on the delivery timescale updates on the PRS web site. It was amusing to compare the stories.
