After reading many good reviews about https://discountsvu.com on mouthshut.com. I decided to purchase the Canon Powershot SX 40 HS digital camera from them. I have visited this website today morning and saw this Camera Model is listed on website with the information "Dispatched in 3 days"(https://discountsvu.com/compare_price/best-price-comparison/Canon-Powershot-SX40HS-Digital-Camera.html)[Screen shot also attached] . Just as a precaution and previous bad experiences of online shopping, I have asked about the availability status and delivery time of this camera to their online support team. They asked me to wait for some time and also the pin code of my city so I had sent them the pin code. Their customer support team told me that " We will deliver it to your location" . Here is the copy of Online Support Transcript(Between me and their customer support team)

From above chat transcript one can also see the standard of their customer support team. One can easily understand that If I would place the order without asking about the Camera availability(on trusting their listing) my money could easily blocked by them for the days.
