There is a GDPR issue if you cancel a drop shipper's order. If you cancel
and they have already changed their name and address to another customer's
details, then this is shown in the cancellation. They are giving out the name,
address and possibly the phone number of someone with no connection whatsoever
to the order.

good thing no one ever buys a present for their nephew Billy who wants 'Esmarelda's
Castle' for their birthday in 2 weeks & Uncle Lego Store Owner didn't
have it but wants to surprise nephew Billy & bought it from another store to
have it shipped to him in time for his birthday. not mentioning it to the store
as it was not pertinent to the purchase.

uncle Lego Store Owner should pay the initial shipping fees to have it shipped
to them directly & then pay a secondary shipping fee to mail it out to nephew
Billy, hoping it gets to him by his burthday....

because, reasons

Gdpr is an EU law and has nothing to do with you (or me)…

Please report this to the help desk, moved this to Tech Issues as order details
should be the same as in the order.
