I tried to purchase XRPs several days ago and they never appeared in my wallet. I asked around on the ripple forums and found that the reason is that bitstamp tried to send more XRPs to me than they had in their hot wallet. It's been four days now, and no one at bitstamp has gotten back to me regarding the issue, and I'm still out $4000. Very frustrating...
