That's what most companies do, you wouldn't go to do your food shop and when you get to the checkout them saying ok, we will go and get your food from our supplier, he may have to grow it first so you may have to wait a while.

There are too many of these threads surfacing recently, I think moderators should step in.

That model is called "dropshipping" and is illegal in the UK. Basically if you offer something for sale you must have stock of it.
