Because they didn't perfectly match, it got kicked out. No matter that it doesn't physically ship, but is emailed. And no matter that many dozens of prior Costco online orders that did actually ship never had this problem. There's been some significant fraud associated with this item, according to the very diligent phone rep. That's an hour I'll never get back. COVID has taught me patience I never knew I had...
Did you succeed in ordering one after that? I just spent over half an hour on chat (fortunately not requiring my attention most of the time). Ultimately the rep just said "we're unable to find out the reason for the cancellation" and suggested I try again. I assume that will fail.
