I hate this:
I need one specific item and can only find one online source for it. It's a very small item, but this supplier has a minimum shipping fee that is excessively high for small items. So ok, I order a couple more small things that I don't really need at the moment but I'll probably need them later.
As I'm completing the order the website asks what I want them to do if anything is out of stock. I've never seen this question on any other site that I order from, and since I don't know whether they'd charge me for backordered stuff that may not arrive for months, I choose to have them send only in-stock items.
So... you guessed it... the package arrives and the one and only item I really wanted is not in it. The other small item which I'm not in any hurry to get, now cost me more than twice its actual value due to the excessive shipping fee, and now if I ever manage to get the item I wanted, I'll have to pay shipping again for that.
I really, REALLY hate this!
