Warehouse 1 and I think 1 or 2 others. Not defending their customer service at all as I have heard a number of stories. I haven't ever ordered anything online from them so have no direct experience. This model is going to become more common though.
I think the whole issue of warehouses is more of a problem in how they present the information on their website. It would be much clearer if they put the item in 1 place but then made it clear what the best price available was. Unfortunately, they sort of do that but it isn't fully obvious.

I find this argument they are making just this of fraudulent. You are not making a contract with a warehouse. You are making a solemn contract with CTD. Its their responsibility, as counterparty to that contract, to supply the good at the agreed upon consideration.
