I see a request to a URL like this being blocked:

https://nym1-ib.adnxs.com/ab?an_audit=0&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wayfair.com%2F&e=wqT_3QK(snip)&pp=${AUCTION_PRICE}

It looks as though the missing content is technically an ad of their own sale products, served through AdNexus, which is why it's being blocked.
