Not knowing the store, how they ordered the minis, or what was 
ordered, its hard for me to say.  But I can tell you that we would 
not have let something slide like that.  We review backorders on a 
weekly basis (when you make or carry a couple thousand different 
items you ALWAYS have backorders) and try to ship partial shipments 
to folks when we know we're not going to get an item back in stock 
for a while.  Why don't you email me direct and let's take this 
discussion private.
