Many, many years ago (maybe last century? if not then first couple of years of this one) I ordered Negativland's CD album "Dispepsi" from Amazon which at the time was pretty new.

Amazon swore they had a single remaining copy. For a couple of weeks they gave me the run around insisting there are warehouse problems or dispatch issues until finally they said OK, yeah, we've lost it, we do not have your CD of Dispepsi by Negativland, we refund your money. Fine, so, I go to Amazon's web site, sure enough now that they've cancelled my purchase they have one in stock. Order that, same loop.

They're not good at the details. I imagine this worked out OK for Bezos "Don't sweat the small stuff" right?
