Best Buy Cancels Some Online Orders ⇥

Brian X. Chen:

A number of online shoppers this week complained that some of their BestBuy.com orders placed in November or December were being canceled, just days before Christmas.

The electronics retail giant has apologized for the cancellations. Best Buy cited overwhelming demand of hot product offerings, which led to some orders’ being canceled.

As Chen points out, this is treading awfully close to fraud.
