Jesus s_d, WTH?? I remember the dress story but not the shoes...
I'm going through some crap with an online order right now. My brother and I made plans to attend the Hershey Chocolate Festival in Oakdale, CA (about 2 hours away), this was last weekend (today is Sunday, so I mean, *last* weekend). So a good 2 weeks + in advance I ordered a new, large Reese's logo shirt to go with my brother's Hershey logo shirt...because I don't fit in my medium Reese's shirt anymore. So two days before the festival I emailed them asking what was going on with the order, even though I knew at that point I wasn't getting it in time. Their response was to say, we'll mail it tomorrow and you'll get it in 2-4 days. Well, that was...nine days ago. I am really pissed off. At the festival I had to wear a plain orange t-shirt that I sewed a Reese's logo onto it that I got from an old-old shirt that was also too small. And we even had our picture taken by an LA Times photographer. It may well never appear in the paper, but if it does, my shirt looked totally crappy and it is so the fault of this stupid online t-shirt company.
I remember a while ago I had ordered volumes 2-5 of a cartoon on DVD (I already had volume 1). Weeks later I asked them where my order was, and was told they didn't even have it in stock and they would ship it when they got it. Why were they advertising it if they didn't even have it?? So I canceled my order. Some months later I went looking for these hard-to-find DVDs again and ordered them from what I thought was a different company but turned out to be the same people operating under multiple accounts (this was on eBay). Okay fine. So I waited, two months this time, and asked them where my order was. First they tell me they mailed it a long time ago, then they change their tune and say they had mailed it and it had been returned to them looking like the package had been attacked by a wild animal, and Volume 5 had been destroyed. I got a refund for that one and they shipped Volumes 2-4 to me. So I am still missing Volume 5. That whole thing was jacked up.
Of course there's also the very first thing I ever bought on eBay never coming, and the very first tape trade I did resulting in him taking my tapes and never sending me mine. And people ask me why I'm so strict when I sell/trade tapes or DVDs now. -_-
