You won't find better quality than Marlin Crawler.  You might pay more, but you get why you pay for.  You can't beat the customer service.  I dont know of any other vendor that will go out of their way and drive cross country to help a customer in need.  that in itself says alot.

As for your order, its always better to call to place an order than do it online.  It takes time to update a website.  And if you're busy, it might not get done right away. 

I see a lot of posts on here about how people have such a hard time getting through when trying to call in.  I have got the busy message maybe 3 times total.  99% of time I call, someone answers right away.  They might put me on hold, but it usually isn't for more than a minute tops. 

There are lots of options out there as far as vendors.  But if I have to choose between marlin and another vendor, il choose marlin, except for bobby longs .  But that might be soon to change with the direction everything is going.  And please don't turn this into a longfield vs marlin vs dirty 30 are the same.  There is already a thread for that.

Hope this helps.
