I received the following e-mail from TheDealBuyer after submitting an Amazon’s tracking number of an iPad order:

We have contacted the Amazon facility to inquire about shipments sent with the Tbapdx tracking numbers so that we can resolve this issue soon. Please do not ask for refunds or replacements because if the shipment does get delivered after-all, the contents will be blocked (and essentially, useless). If any items are blocked once delivered, we will prevent you from purchasing items in the future as it creates many issues for us. If you do get a refund and want to prevent getting banned, ensure that you block the tracking number in order management. This way, if the package does get delivered to the warehouse, it will lead to automatic blocking during scan-in, We do scan in the serial numbers and can easily track it back to the users.

This was my first order submitted to them on an Amazon account that I regularly use. What does it mean? I never heard of issues with “TBAPDX” and that’s the first time a package shipped with this kind of “PDX” stuff after the TBA and I don’t know what it means at all.
