Day to Day Imports interview questions

Had a phone interview. I then submitted personalized writing samples that I took the time to write specifically for the website. I heard back and they said they wanted me to come in for an in-person interview. I sent them my availability; since I was coming from out of state I was about to buy a plane ticket out of pocket, but then I never heard anything back from them. I followed up twice, and no response. Very rude - a simple "sorry, we are passing" message would have been quite easy to send and appreciated, especially since I was about to spend the money to fly out there to interview.
