I'm wondering if the live inventory is off a bit and they have to keep adjusting it after they do a count. Just a couple days ago I ordered Red Cow 20ml 6mg bottles until the website said it "had to adjust my order due to stock available". I thought that meant that I got the last of it, and couldn't order any more.. The website the next day showed only 0mg left.
But then a few minutes ago I noticed they had the option available again for 6mg. It's too bad cuz I can't bring myself to pay another shipping cost to order maybe 1-2 more bottles, and not interested in the other flavors in the 20ml size.

In a perfect world, the inventory system would be 100% accurate and would not show an item was out until the last unit (bottle, box of cartos, etc.) was placed on order.

In reality though, V4L is a beehive of activity. Receiving new shipments, working customer issues, and several people stepping around each other while they fill orders. Watching it in person, it looks like barely controlled chaos. ;)

Since they are only human, just like the rest of us, it is unavoidable that someone will reach for a particular item and accidentally grab one from the box right next to the intended one.

When something like that happens, it would throw the entire inventory system out of whack.

I'm guessing here, but I'll bet when new stuff arrives and is added to the inventory system, the numbers are fudged down just a bit. This would keep you from ordering (and paying for) something only to discover it's out of stock.

I would much rather see that than backorders. Everything in business is a trade-off and I like the way V4L does things. :thumb:

I just ordered about 10 bottles each in 5ml of my favorites, so I guess the 20ml question is a moot point for me for awhile. Thought I'd mention that in case anyone out there is still working on the original 20ml stock question. I figure the 20ml must not be the same stuff...it appears to be steeply discounted at $5/bottle. My wallet says I should have ordered 20ml. My taste buds vetoed that proposal and told my wallet that my favorites were only available in the 5ml bottles for now. Easy come easy go.
