My sister was sent an iron instead of a laptop last week!
Weird, I got a laptop instead of my Weetabix
I once ordered some fairy washing up tablets and struck gold when they sent me a string of pink flamingo fairy lights. I still have them up. Best substitution ever.
I got dog food instead of an Xbox. It still going on and it’s an absolute nightmare to even get Amazon to take responsibility
Not really worth buying anything from Amazon any more given that they just mix all the inventory up and you don’t know if you’re getting a legit item or a dud.
Half the time actual branded shit is unavailable these days too, it’s just white-labelled tripe from AliExpress.
A few years ago I ordered Ring Alarm from Costco and extra sensors from Amazon.
Amazon sent me the Ring Alarm by accident. I contacted them and they told me to keep it. Saved myself like £200.
Amazon is a cancer. Just don’t use them. You don’t have too!
This sort of thing happened a lot when the PS5 got released. Delivery drivers would swap it for something of similar size and then plead ignorance.
I’m not saying that’s what happened here, but it is a possibility.
I had a laptop delivered that broke. When I returned it they accused me of swapping it out for a cheaper model and refused to refund. I insisted on a police crime number and to be questioned. They STILL wouldn’t refund so I emailed [Jeff@amazon.com](mailto:Jeff@amazon.com) and got a refund in days.
