wow that is ridiculous! how can they offer and item at a certain price and then back out of the deal when they find out the value of the item will rise?!
They are well known for doing this sort of thing unfortunately. If you look down the main store discussion page youll find a rather large thread talking about mtg fanatic and their poor practices when it comes to this sort of thing. You simply cannot trust them to follow through when card prices increase. They are one of the worst examples of this practice, and it has led to many many people here never shopping from them again as a result. In the future I suggest doing some browsing through, at least the first page of the store discussion thread to find out which businesses are trustworthy and which arent.
They have pulled similar things on me. I don't know why anyone still buys from them honestly.

Once again, mtgfanatic strikes. I bought some Allosaurus Rider at $1.25 and $3 shipping. Three days later, which is today, June 2, they cancelled saying that "the price changed." I wish I knew which stores to buy from and which not to.

You are in luck, we actually do have such a thread dedicated to such issues that has a bit of a continually updated list of stores that have done this very sort of thing in the past. Its in this same part of market street (Store Discussions). The thread is called "List of shops that CANCEL orders when cards spike". I just checked and sure enough MTGFanatic is the 2nd seller on the list. Hope that information helps :).

That's odd, I bought a set of MP Nimbus Maze from them right after the random spike to $30+, for $6/ea, tracking didn't work, it took like 2 weeks, and messaged them on FB a few times but I got the cards. Everywhere else that had them had already jumped $25-35 before I even ordered and they still honored the price listed.

For what it's worth, I bought 6 of them from them. I had heard bad stuff about mtgfanatic before, but it literally was the only place I could find Allosaurus Riders outside of 2 I bought out at another store.
It seems like your experience was pretty poor (to receive the cards after 2 weeks and messaging), but I'm sure that you were happy that you eventually got the cards. Maybe they wanted to move the Mazes, although I'm not sure why they wouldn't want to move Riders as well.

Oh for sure it wasn't good, but I did get the cards I ordered, they didn't cancel on me cause of price changes, and they were decent on replying within a day to messages. I don't think I'll deal with them again but I was nice enough to give them a very critical but neutral Facebook review.
I think it is more of them cherrying picking on what cards they are willing to sell.
I wouldn't do business with them again
