A Smiting I Shall Go

October 18th, 2006

So, there is a new company on my list of “people who need a good smacking.” The previously mentioned costume was ordered from Halloween Costumes 4 U, may the lord smite them and remove them from the earth. This company waited for a week and a half to tell us this:

Dear Johanna E Norton,

We thank you for ordering from our site, however, the merchandise that you ordered is not available at this time. Therefore, we have cancelled your order with no charges having been made to your credit card.
The merchandise was not available in our warehouse in the size requested,  so we tried to order it from the manufacturer for you.

We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused you. We regret that we were not able to fill your order at this time and hope we can be of service to you in the future.

Great. Joh and I now have a week and a half to find a costume for Tory that she likes and that won’t put us into hock. So, for all you spammers, please deluge customerservice@wildsyde.com.
