I've tried dealing with these folks in the past. It's a wonder they're
still in business. The conversation goes something like:
Me: I'm interested in XYZ
CP: I'll have to go to the warehouse to see if we have it in
stock. I'll call you back when I know something.
...and I would never get a call back. Repeated calls would just end in
a loo (ie same response and no progress).
