It is rather long, but the short version is that if you expect any
communication from them, then you might as well go elsewhere in the first
place.

My heuristic for ordering from Dabs is: *only* order items they say are
in stock. Sticking to this, I've never had a missed delivery and always
received stuff next day. Colleagues who've believed the '239 expected in
2-3 days' have waited for much longer and been left in limbo.
