I'm sure you've heard of customers returning old items in the box of a newer item to get free upgrades?

Well forget about that, I just received an already opened and empty box for an M.2 SSD I ordered.

They don't even check if the item is in the box for returns, and illegally resell it as a new item (even a genuine customer return isn't meant to be sold as new).

I asked for a replacement and will make sure to record opening it, if I get the same problem I will try taking action for more compo.

The main issue is that the SSD I ordered is the one that Sony also recommend for the PS5 as the price was reduced quite a lot, except I got scammed.

And yes it was a stocked and sold by Amazon Prime item, not a third party seller.

I just bought a battery for my bike, the battery arrived with a bent terminal, I got in touch with customer service and they were basically just like "keep it for free and we'll get another one sent to your house in two days"

cool thanks

Last year they sent me a second set of Bowflex adjustable dumbells. I asked them for a returrn shipping label. They just told me to keep it. $400

Last month. I ordered a can of powdered butter for my food supplies. They delivered a can of black beans. I contacted, they sent butter told me to keep the beans. $25

I seem to get something or other free from them once a year or so.

2 years ago it was a set of shelves. I ordered 1, got 2.

all of these things were shipped and sold by amazon. I filter out the third party sellers on there to limit the scams.

Granted. Bezos is a fucking nightmare of a problem. I have to shop somewhere. I sure as hell wont patronize wall mart, and target has limited chinese selection just the same as walmart and costs more. My options are limited in where i can buy many things.

Nope. doesnt change my feelings. More money for the jews, is the same as more money for a corrupt billionaire.
