I will be opening my store soon. tonight or Tuesday depending on how much I can get written on the webpage today. The order section is done but it looks really plain and I need to put up product description.
Here is my question. I suspect that I will run out of inventory fairly quickly. The site is set up so that it will refuse orders when inventory for a particular item drops to zero. I am going to place another order tonight for product and was told that the order could be here by the end of the week.
What is the expectation for ship times when ordering from a dealer???? Should I turn off the inventory counter and let this go into back order???????
As time passes, I will keep plenty of stock on hand to not go into backorder but right now I do not know how big sales will be so at first there is a risk. I can prevent going into backorder but I wonder if that is a needed step at this point.
Do I sell what I have and then update inventory when the next shippment arrives by friday? Or do I just sell what I have then ship them as they arrive until I get inventories built up.
I really do want your opinons please.
