I too placed an order by phone, the day the winter parts sale started. About
1/2 the items were back ordered (most importantly, my car cover). Their
explanation, which I understand & believe, is that they were wiped out this
Christmas, and Englang takes a while to re-ramp up production of parts after
the holidays.
