Once I ordered a pack of highlighters for Amazon Prime Day and accidentally received a GTX 1080TI graphics card instead. Last year, I received a saw blade instead of some sunscreen. Any of you receive any "accidental treasure" from Amazon?

So like

Wyd with it?

@Stuxnet sold it and bought more highlighters

My bro ordered a beard trimmer and received a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 ('19). Too bad they figured they made a mistake a few days later and sent a courier to take the tablet back :/

he definitely should've kept it :(

Not sure the ftc is relevant for Lithuania

@nibor ... fair point

ThinkGeek:

Ordered a companion cube cookie jar. Got a broken companion cube cookie jar and a $60 foam creeper. Did not complain.

Ordered Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Got a toothbrush.

@RememberMe was it a good toothbrush

@leatherhoot I still have it lol, use it for cleaning dust and stuff from components and all. Turned out better than the game.

I once ordered floor mats for my truck and cancelled the order (successfully) and ordered different ones. Both arrived and I was never charged for the first set. I couldn’t even see the cancelled order on my account. I held onto them for a bit nervous that I was doing something wrong and eventually sold them for $100. Nice gift from Amazon after the tens of thousands I’d spent on there for years buying every little thing down to light bulbs and air filters.

@Stebner55 you should send them a thank you card

@nibor It definitely is not. Here, accepting a parcel that isn't yours is treated as a robbery. Since you haven't paid for it nor ordered it and there's no document saying that it was a gift. It was simply a mistake.

I've had an experience with some vendors here where they sent me wrong items. Since it was similiar to what I ordered in price/quality/functionality, I haven't noticed them and used the item. Later on, they called me and threatened me if I don't return the item - I'll get cops on me :) When I returned, they asked why the hell is it used. When I explained, nobody gave a fuck and I still had to pay a "fine" of 30EUR in order to justify the usage...

@potata yikes

@leatherhoot
Amazon perhaps sent you what you needed and not what you wanted.

Not on amazon, but dad ordered a vacuum cleaner and received 10 mid-low smart phones instead. He reached to the shop that the phones are cool and all, but he would like his cleaner instead and asked how to exchange it for his order. They essentialy told him to fuck off. He kept the phones for about a year in case anyone comes asking. Nobody came. So he started giving the phones away to whoever needed a phone in his social circle. It's been ~5years already.
