darchildreBack in September, I pre-ordered a thing from an online store. It was meant to ship in November.
In November, I got an email telling me that the item would be delayed and would now ship in February. Okay. It's just a silly fannish thing, I can wait, no big deal. Then in February, I got an email announcing another delay and shipment in March. Then one saying it wouldn't get to me till summer. That's absurd, but still, it's not urgent, I'll get the thing eventually.
Last week, I got an email saying that it was almost ready to ship! Which was very exciting, as I wasn't expecting it till June (and was in fact expecting another email announcing a delay).
And then, just now, I got an email saying that, as they were preparing my order for shipment, they realized that they "short" on the size I ordered, and that I could get a size up or down, or a refund.
Y'all, I get that everything has been terrible this year and that supply chain stuff is extremely complex but you had at least six fucking months from the original shipment date to make sure you were getting the right number of items in each size. And now, instead of being excited that I am finally getting this thing, I get to be pissed off and disappointed. If it ever actually arrives.
