Here's the story: I sent Bikes Direct an e-mail yesterday afternoon asking if they have a Dawes SST AL (50cm) in stock. It shows on their site that it's in stock so i ordered it last night. I get an e-mail today and they said that all their SST AL's are out of stock in 50cm.


Today, i receive a tracking number and tracked my package and this is what it said:
Mesquite, TX, United States 02/02/2011 3:54 P.M. Pickup Scan
United States 02/02/2011 12:24 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS


So does that mean that UPS has the bike or did the phantom bike never make it on the UPS truck since it's "out of stock"? I heard stories of BD sending tracking numbers to buyers even though the bike is out of stock (which they find out days later). It says "pickup scan", so does that mean that a bike was picked up by UPS?
