No problem, unless you make the mistake when you are placing an order. <G> I had an experience with that. I placed an option order with my broker in Germany back in 1975. He sold calls on all the positions I wanted to buy, which was a huge amount in those days. Fortunately, both he and I recorded our conversations. He told me he had listened to the tape and I had placed the order wrong. When I replayed my recording for him, he hung up on me and refused to take my calls. Fortunately, his branch manager took it and I was made whole at the correct prices on the right positions. I dumped the firm and my guess is that they dumped that broker.

Lord knows it's easy to make a mistake, but you've got to man up if you are wrong, customer or broker.
