If you intend to get one from condor or Balfes, bear in mind that their online retail system links directly to the distributors warehouse stock. Some retailers using that same system say on their websites that an item is ‘at the warehouse’ or something ambiguous to that effect, when it’s actually at their distributors warehouse, meaning more points of failure if it’s a v. important order.
Same for ‘available for in store collection’. Doesn’t always mean it’s actually in the store for you to rock up and collect it, it just means it’s collectable in store but it might be at (their?) warehouse. If it strikes you as misleading, you’re not alone.
