Easy Fix...
You find a kick ass deal and move on it.
The distributor/dealer must submit a copy of the confirmed order from manufacturer to you within 48 hours with a prospective delivery date on it. Now you have proof that the distributor/dealer has in fact placed the order and the burden is now squarely on the manufacturer to deliver.
If no such paperwork is submitted to you within that time frame you call your CC company or whatever payment system you chose, such as Paypal, and reverse the charges. Deal over and no one gets burned.
Don't ever pay with a check or cash. It's way harder to recoup your money from scumbags when you do it that way.
