I received a note that my gift could not be sent
In the rare instance that a song, audiobook or album is deleted from the iTunes Store while your gift is in transit, we will cancel your gift so you can send something else to your recipient. The entire purchase price of your gift will be automatically refunded to your credit card in this case.
