Need to rant on how USP displays "in stock" versus "out of stock."
Ordered Spulen boost pipes Wednesday because someone's trying to buy my stock throttle pipe. Shipping says however many days, I calculate it to be early this coming week.
Today I go to check the tracking to find out exactly which day, and I can't find a tracking number anywhere. Just when I was about to give up and complain about that, I notice something on the invoice that says it's expected to ship on the 29th...
Now, I might've missed where it said that exact date, but I went through most of the steps of buying it just now and it didn't come up once. And nothing says it's out of stock or any reason for a nearly 2 week processing delay, with the banner at the top saying they're "100% operational" with respect to coronavirus.
This is what it looks like:
Apparently the only way to tell if it's out of stock is if it doesn't say "in stock" but instead says nothing.
I know everyone will probably say that's obvious and I'm dumb, but why wouldn't it just say "out of stock"? If you don't happen to notice the "in stock" label on a completely unrelated product you could reasonably believe that something is in stock when it isn't.
Examples:
Any rational person would believe both of these items are in stock:
Unless you look at this unrelated item:
Bad site design is bad. Items should not be dependent upon one another. I should be able to look at only the item I want and know all pertinent info about that item.
In unrelated news I spitefully cancelled an order for boost pipes...
