Computer inventory is not always acurate. There are too many factors that can throw it off (Employee theft, people just "assuming" that all the parts on a shipping reciept are there, bad scans, etc). That is why companies also have physical inventories at least once a year. Not to mention, if you don't ask them to hold something, someone else may walk in a buy it. Mistakes happen. When you call a place to see if something is in, ask if there is a few on hand. Ask them to set the part aside for you, and if you want to "Play it safe", call before you drive out, and say that they had a part on hold for you, but you are running late, and wanted to be sure the part was still there.
