  1. Attempted to order an in-stock item from @TigerDirect yesterday. This morning, they called to do a fraud check and said everything looked good. Tonight, they cancelled my order without notifying me and the item is out of stock. Far more bummed out than I should be about this.

      @TigerDirect Update: @tigerdirect sent me promotional email advertising the same product this morning. I clicked through. It was in stock again. I placed an order. It said it was being fulfilled by the warehouse. Then it flipped to "verifying payment" an hour later. I called in.

        "Oh, that was discontinued and got zeroed out in our internal systems on Monday. This order will be cancelled, too. We're never going to have it in stock again."
