I never give substitutions. I always have always hate when companies do that. I try to get a hold of people to ask what they want to do especially with small orders. And I give refunds for out of stocks that are not going to be back in stock. I don't like the keep the money automatic thing either.
I suppose that's the good thing of starting a business later in life, you remember all the things you didn't like and try not to do them to others. Mistakes still happen, but the frequency is kept at a very low rate, and then it is easier to deal with them when they occur.

Deborah,
You are too funny!
