Quoted from ryanwanger:

Yeah, it's definitely frustrating. Not fun for people who want bulbs, and obviously bad business to have to turn away eager customers. It's not intentional, of course. I can go into the ins and outs of why this is happening, but I don't want to be in the business of making excuses.
Things will get better, we promise. Now that we've figured out how to run this business, the only thing left that stresses me out is running out of stock. My dream is that it never happens, but that's probably not feasible with over 1000 different bulbs.
We've had a healthy stock of green and yellow frosted 1SMDs (both wedges and bayonets) dating back to November (or earlier), though some are low in just the last week. So for some reason, your experience doesn't seem to align with our actual inventory levels. Please reach out via PM so we can figure out where the disconnect is...you should have been able to buy these all along!

Perhaps unbelievably, our e-commerce provider does not allow this. It's maddening. It might be the thing that gets us to switch to a different platform. For now, you can email [email protected] and ask us when we'll get X back in stock. The answer will always be "a few week", but we'll put you on a list and send you a personal email when it arrives.

Quoted from rooftop:

comet kicks ass, any bulb supplier you use will occasionally be out of certain items, i see no reason to start a thread crying about it.

Quoted from ryanwanger:

Hang in there everybody. Anything we're out of has been ordered. Maybe I can bring Art back on as a consultant to deflect all of the bad will our stock issues have generated?

Quoted from Whysnow:

you could also update the thread title...
Just sayin... It is a pretty shitty way to treat a company you like to support and one that does a good job. Everytime this gets bumped, you are basically bad mouthing Comet and turning people away from them.
Kind of BS considering I have not once had an issue with OOS bulbs. Not a very nice way to treat a good business.

Quoted from Whysnow:

curious, have you still been unable to order what you wanted? What specific bulbs are you trying to order?
I honestly have never once had an issue with anything being OOS at Comet and the prices and service are so good that I would never come whine about a few oddball bulbs being OOS on a forum or be so passive aggressive with a thread title and now revised title. It is still a BS way to treat a company that is good, provides a good product, and actually response to emails very quickly.
Are you whining about some stupid color changer one off that only you have even ordered and they probably should just remove entirely from their website or are you having a legitimate issue with a common bulb that should be in stock? either way the only correct solution was to email team Comet and work with them.
Is this really all over 1smd frosted green and yellows? If so then 2 things:
1. Stop color bombing games. It looks like crap
2. Buy the 2SMD and stop being so cheap

from what I see, both the 1SMD and 2SMD in frosted Yellow and Green are in stock currently?

Quoted from Whysnow:

I read.
I am just not sure what is the point of still having a shitty thread title intended to hurt Comet when you made a substituition, like the company, and this is already resolved for you???
