The first time I attempted to check out a pair of sneakers, I was informed that it was out of stock. And I was only informed AFTER i checked out. Had I knew it was out of stock, I would not have went through with my order as I only carted out the other items because 'why not'. I assumed the system has not updated itself and therefore it still shows the sneakers were still available. But a few days after, it still shows available. I emailed someone who told me to go ahead to cart it out and he would reimburse the shipping fee. After I checked out, I was once again informed that it was out of stock. I don't know it there is a serious lack of update in the system or what the issue is but it is very frustrating. I don't think I will be purchasing from Flannels again since I can't tell which is or is not truly in stock.
