My complaint with Lickton's was that they showed a DA Triple 9-speed Front

Derailleur on their website when I was building up my new carbon frame.  I

ordered it and then started assembling other parts I needed.  About TEN
DAYS 
LATER I get a call (from a "Junior Lickton"?) telling me that they don't 
have the item, but I could choose a 10-speed DA FD instead for about $60 
more.  No apology for taking so long; no apology for showing a product as
in 
stock when in fact they not only didn't have it but couldn't/wouldn't
order 
it.  (Said it was discontinued and increasingly hard to find.)

I cancelled the order, and in about 15 seconds found one at a better price

(IIRC) that took maybe 3-4 days to arrive.

So I say screw 'em.  Can't imagine ever darkening their in-box again.

BS (truth)
