FWIW, I've had this problem with JDR before too, and it was no big deal.
Web site says they have the item, but the order fails for mysterious reasons.
Called them by phone but got the night shift, evidently they're just sitting
in front of web browsers, no better. Called during the day time, they had to
put me on hold but eventually they convinced their system to take my order,
and it arrived with no more trouble. So give it a shot...
