Online shopping manipulations ... we take your money before we tell you we don't have stock!

Only once your payment has been processed do they inform you about items not in stock ... why not before payment ... Then you don't receive any feedback re the rest of your order or a refund for items out of stock ... Try calling .... good luck!! just no answer! I think these online shops are using Covid as an excuse, and by taking your funds first without letting you know they don't have stock .... surely that is bordering on being ********** .... !
