Got my first ecommerce website order!!

November 1st, 2007 by Kenric

My first website order came in yesterday evening.  I was so excited when I got the order.  It’s the same feeling as when I got my 1st rent check.  It’s the affirmation that things are going according to plan.  The order was for $142.00. 

Of course then Murphy’s Law struck.  When I logged onto my account to fill this order I couldn’t find this product on my dropshipper’s site.  I searched and searched and realized that sometime in the past week they must have dropped it from there inventory.  That totally sucks!  I checked all my other products just in case and it’s the only one that’s gone!

Now I have to go directly to the manufacturer to see if they will sell direct to me.  I was eventually going to go this route anyway, but I wanted to get the site up and running with one supplier first.  Since it’s 12:00am, I can’t call them now, but I’ll call them first thing in the morning.  I guess I’m going to be setting up multiple distributors earlier than I thought.

Let’s hope I can fill this order and don’t need to cancel it.

Update: I contacted my dropshipper this morning and they told me that they removed the item from the site because they were out of stock and had trouble getting more.  He asked if I needed a right-handed one and I told him I needed a lefty one.  He said he may have a lefty one in stock, he checked and he had a lefty one, exact color and size that I needed!  So I placed the order and its on its way!
