You are not out of line in being concerned. I've seen vendor sites go "down" before just because of their "location" on the interwebs versus the "location" of the website user (me). There can be things like mis-configuration of secondary and tertiary name servers that will disrupt access to the web site for a user in one place while a user in another geographical location might have no issues whatsoever. Name servers can be misconfigured by an internet service provider or sometimes by someone who is working in behalf of the web site's owner. I've seen both. True "glitch in the matrix" kind of stuff also happens. When the overall way that the interwebs work is considered, it's kinda miraculous that it works as well as it does. If a site goes down for you for an extended period of time while others in a separate geographic location report that it works fine, that's the time to pick up the phone and let the vendor know that "I live in such-and-such city and use X as my internet provider. I can't get to your web site, but people who live in another location Y can. Your website maintainers need to take a look at this and figure it out because it is probably costing you sales." I've done this before with a major gun stuff vendor (Lee Precision) whose website was "down" for me, but not others, and within a day or two they had the issue fixed.
