I like my LBS policy. Full price, fully refundable deposit for special orders. They check the availability at the distributor to ensure timely arrival when you place your order. Most everything is 3-4 days. You don't like it or don't want it for any reason, you get your money back. Heck, you can even call to cancel and get your money back before it's arrived. You can take the item home and if it's not working for you, bring it back for a full refund.
