Carvana cancels redelivery order unilaterally and refuses to refund shipping fee
A Carvana customer had a car delivery rescheduled by a Carvana agent due to a missing feature, only to have the order cancelled an hour later with no explanation. Reordering would require paying another $2,000 shipping fee with no guarantee of priority access to the same vehicle. Consumers have no clear escalation or contract enforcement path when a company-initiated cancellation triggers financial loss.
