Coincidence? In three days, two items I ordered from Amazon --- [View all]

Monday, I get an email that an order cannot be filled and they are refunding my money. = No profit to Amazon.

Today, I get an email that an order is being delayed. Do I want my money back or do I want to wait in case it shows up? I chose to wait. If I cancelled, = no money to Amazon.

Anyone else with similar experiences?

If this is magnified, many orders will be cancelled and this will be a substantial loss to Amazon. Jeffie will be pissed.

I guess many wholesalers stocked up at the beginning of Orangeanus's tariff war. 3Hotdogs Oct 16 #4

I've seen it happening with computer parts. When they come back, prices have nearly tripled. Eugene Oct 17 #5
