The only real alternative is paying higher prices with larger vendors who maintain an inventory. Like most things in life there is always a trade off.
I fully understand I just think their websites should state "Item not stocked - credit card will not be charged until availability confirmed" And if it is backordered from their source - they should notify you - not make you wait in the dark and eventually investigate and find out for yourself....
