You can save yourself a lot of grief if you check the feedback for a store before
committing to a purchase. Neutral or negative feedback may not be a reason to
avoid a store. Understand what the feedback is telling you.

I was looking at a store that had a bunch of parts I need for a project I am
delivering in 2 weeks.

6.6% of the stores feedback is neutral or negative. An average of 6 negative\neutral
feedbacks a month in 2024. Most for excessively long shipping times. I can
tell from the feedback, this definitely just a hobby and their time/attention
is limited.

The feedback wouldn't have stopped me from ordering from the store if it
was to restock parts but since I need them within 10 days . . .

Point well made.

The statistics tell just a small part of the story behind these numbers.

READ the stories carefully to make an informed decision as OP did.

Food for thought....
