Yes, but you won't know to do it at Step 3. It just sounds like a garden variety shipping problem or back-order at that point. You don't know you've been had until around step 5. Step 6 only confirms it.
I worked with a company that sold all sorts of terrible cheap products that nobody would want, and sold them with spam. They'd send tens of millions of emails, and something like %0.002 would result in a sale, which meant a total windfall for the company every time they did a so-called "mail push".
Problem was, their hosting company (us) would get blacklisted, then we'd move them to a new colocation facility (because they paid really really well--never mind our good name) which would before long get blacklisted, lather rinse repeat.
That company doesn't exist anymore under that name, which is a good thing because it's STILL on some spam blacklist watchlists, seven or eight years later.
