Just the facts (as I remember them).A couple of months ago I ordered a pair of C30 traveler end control blocks with cam cleats from CatalinaDirect. The web site listed the price as $52 each. When I called, they told me the price was now $60. I didn't complain because the only other source (rigrite.com) that I knew of wanted about $120 each. CatalinaDirect was out of the part but had them on order and told me it would take about 3 weeks.Yesterday, I called to check on the status of my order. Sheila call back and said that their original source was failing so they were now buying from Catalina Yachts. And that Catalina was not being very responsive.So, living pretty near the Catalina factory, I decided to give the parts department a call. They told me that they have plenty of these items in stock and I could come by and pick them up: cost $60 each.Late this morning I called CatalinaDirect and left a message that I wanted to cancel my order because I was going to pick them up at Catalina Yachts (same price but no shipping cost and I get them today).About an hour later I get a call from CatalinaDirect (CD). They tell me that I was misinformed; Catalina Yachts’ entire inventory of the part was pledged to CD. Therefore, I would have to get the part from CD. CY was going to ship the part to CD today. I should get it sometime next week.Well, those are the facts. I'm not sure what to make of it. I put in another call to CY but had to leave a message. I'll post their response when I get it.
