Anyone else noticing websites preventing purchases?

What is up with online purchasing? So far I have been unable to use Costco website to order a laptop to be delivered to warehouse & I was unable to use Macys because I can't select an address. I tried Costco with Incognito because they said it could be my device and had someone else try as well. Instacart was a struggle too, sometimes I am noticing number of items going up or down and things deleted from the cart. Anyone else noticing that website behaviors are disrupting purchasing?
 

I tried to put a $50 power bank in my cart on the Costco site last night, and got a big block letter message that the "malicious operation" I had just attempted had been blocked. Definitely weird. (I didn't call or anything; wasn't that important to me.)
 
The person on Chat at Costco said it was a site issue, if it is only me then that;'s not the thing. Ehhh, I'll just go next week or somewhere else. THX

Did you try to use PayPal or Apple Pay and ship it someplace differently than the saved address? It won’t go through with either payment form if you don’t ship to the address saved with the services.

For Costco I was trying to send it to the store I like but it kept redirecting me to put in my shipping address and we have way too much shipping theft here for me to even consider it, I didn't get far enough to select a payment method. It still won't work, I guess I'll just go to the store.
 
It’s not just you. I had issues with Costco and Shutterfly online ordering today. I had to switch from Safari to Chrome to in order to add anything to my cart. It was annoying; I order from them all the time and had no issues until today.
 
Disney Movie Club has been down for two days & free shipping ends Monday night :sad2:.
I tried to place items in my cart with Answers in Genesis & got a very strange error page.
 
Do you have content blockers on by chance? Some sites things just don’t work with them on.

I’ve had one or two places I just couldn’t get into. In the long run it was a good thing because by the time I did I was like, meh, I don’t need it anyway.

My issue has been arbitrary limits on lower priced things with 20-25% discounts. I could see it if they were deeply discounted high dollar items but it’s things like charging blocks or games. And it’s not like I want a large amount, I need three but they’ll only let me buy two kind of thing.

Thanks for the tip.
I turned them off for AiG but still had the same problem.
I sent the info from the error site to their technical team.

Disney Movie Club sent an email 2 days ago stating they were aware of the problem and were working on it.
I hope they extend the free shipping offer!
