I don't know if it's always like this, but I recently put in an order with a bunch of OEM yamaha parts. When I added them to my cart 19 out of the 20 parts said they were available within 2 days and one part was listed as "54-57 days." It was enough money to get the free shipping, but one shipping option was $7.95 so that all available parts would be shipped immediately and then the rest once they get them. So they immediately shipped out the three parts that were "in stock" and not ones that had a "in 2 days" thing. Great, getting those three parts are useless. Then I got an email with updated parts availability times. A lot of them are two months out. One item is listed as "no current ETA" but before it was "in stock." Mostly sharing so that anyone else knows their items stock and time estimates are inaccurate and doing that special shipping option may be entirely unhelpful.

It always kills me that a small time company like mine can have accurate stock on the website but a giant like Partzilla can't.

It’s not just scooter parts lots of other projects have gone back to the back burner because months after I order “in stock” parts, as opposed to “available”. I get an email saying it’s not longer an order because the part has now been discontinued (?!) or just not shipping until some other time in the future, or maybe was swallowed by a worm hole.

I did post a little while ago that if anyone needed anything it was the time to buy it because the global supply chains are good and truly borked. They are now and everything is grinding to a halt until they come back up to speed in roughly 6-8 months. Matt

I ran into this with 128mm engine studs for the 54mm cylinder I put on the RT. Said 2-3 days, I paid, 2 days later I get an email that the order has been cancelled. Parts were not available from supplier was there reason.
The refund came through, but then I started getting emails about completing my purchase....0_o
What purchase? They didn't have my parts? Anyway after that experience and a couple others from the big boys, I stopped buying from them as a rule.
Except for occasional Amazon and JP Cycles, everything else has been small retailers only. I haven't had a problem since, am VERY happy with the prices and service, and glad to be buying from folks that love these crazy little machines.
