I got an email a few days ago saying my order was cancelled because I ordered two from different accounts but to same shipping address... I called the customer support and they said they both weren't actually cancelled, but I don't really believe them. They still show up as pending remote fulfillment though and the credit card charges still went through. Anyone have anything similar?

yup. same with me. I had an incorrect shipping address (zip/city) so they told me to reorder cuz the first one will cancel automatically when it comes time to ship due to invalid address. But both pending cc charges went through few days ago! wtf... they lied about it being charged when it ships.

I checked out as a guest on Sunday because they're Account Creation system kept giving errors. They charged my card immediately. When I check order status its still in Pending Remote Fufillment.

I feel like people who ordered while shipping date was at 3/4 that will likely have their orders shipped. So many orders got cancelled with ship date 3/26
