How did payments work for this? In the UK - I don't know about the US where this was presumably 'on sale' - you can issue a chargeback against the credit card company if a sale falls through in this manner.

Most of the time, credit cards are not charged until goods are shipped. In any case you can do a chargeback and are protected by the Fair Credit Billing Act:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Credit_Billing_Act
