Volvo Parts Lisle

I spent HOURS going thru 5 different suppliers, figuring out which one had the most of the parts I want (1996 850) & best shipping.
So I placed an order with Lisle, and today I get an email:
>
The web order you are requesting, six parts are no longer available and other parts are non-returnable. You will be getting a refund in your account. Do you still wish to proceed with your web order?

And it contains a copy of my complete order -- they can't even be bothered to tell me WHICH parts they don't have !!! Not to mention that I should not have been able to put non-existant parts in my cart in the first place !

Just from web surfing, it appears a generic template was used for Volvo's dealer's sites. I assume each dealer must insert their inventory into it.

I write down part numbers, and then send an email to them to verify.

Turbobrick Post - More than once now. I've noticed that parts that are listed as discontinued here in the US I find them in stock at overseas suppliers. So be sure to check with skandix, cvi.se, and gcp.se if you come up with a discontinued part.
