This pattern is documented across Angi, HomeAdvisor, and Thumbtack.

T-Mobile applied a $13.34/month credit versus the $34.58/month documented in a written chat transcript, then charged a $70 restocking fee when the customer returned the device due to T-Mobile's own billing failure.

Automated bots drain inventory seconds after online drops at Walmart, Target, and Pokémon Center, leaving human collectors locked out of MSRP prices.
