Customers are being urged to immediately dispute their charges with credit card companies, which in several cases have already refunded money for undelivered orders.

- Is it crazy to think I might have seen a moose in my neighbor’s back yard around midnight a couple of nights ago?
It was quite dark so I couldn’t view the animal very well. I assumed it was a huge buck deer, but its long legs made a real impression on me. (Nextdoor South Acton/West Concord)
