OUCH!
I would have stopped after the first mistake, or make that three mistakes.
I've been hearing from various forums lots of complaints about online order problems due to the immense unforeseen traffic on Cyber Monday.
Personally I am not big on online buying .... I like to have a human hand me my product so that if I go home and it doesn't work, I have that human to go back to and CHOKE !!!
Ordering Online = Save A Few Bucks
Choking The Clerk Who Sold You Bad Product = PRICELESS !!!!
I hope they get your mess straightened out fast enough .... I'd be so angry that you would hear me on the phone from your house.

Braking the connector or even the oil sending unit while removing/installing the filter is a common enough occurrence that I disconnect the sending unit wire and fold it back. This minimizes the risk ... just got to remember to hook it back up.

anyone have any other suggestions i can do? or do i just need to get new tires.

I am an avid online shopper,but this year the errors have been terrible. I caught a few deals for Black Friday and websites were crashing,added products at checkout that were not in the cart, and like Jimmy being charged 2 to 3 x more. The account is not supposed to be charged until you ship the item,if you place a hold on my account for the amount of the order isn't that the same as you paying for it since the money is not available?
Most places won't charge until the item ships because of that clock.
Once they charge the account they MUST SHIP the item within a specified time from, but I believe it is a generous timeframe of like 30 days.... but I am not 100% certain.
Some shady vendor charge right away, but do not ship until they have sold enough items to place an order with a supplier. They don't keep an inventory so the buyer is stuck waiting until enough people have ordered the same item, or until that vender has a large enough $$$$ order with a supplier to qualify them for some incentive like free shipping to them, or a price break thus increasing profits.
I suspect that gets done with a lot of the Cyber Monday deals because of the price cuts they needs to sell a high volume.
Whenever I order something shipped to the house because I cannot get it locally I alway call on the phone first to make sure the items is in stock and ready to ship THAT DAY.
When I want something .....
I want it ........
RIGHT NOW !!!!
