I bought some AirPods off of Amazon and received an empty box. The side of the earbuds box was cut open so someone could slide the earbuds out.
Thankfully they’re only $200 so the Amazon support dude didn’t even hesitate to refund me. I can’t imagine trying to explain how I didn’t get a $3K card. Would probably have my credit card fight it out but would then get banned from Amazon.
Never use Amazon for expensive electronics. There’s too much nonsense going on.
I tried to preorder a phone once. Sony offered a pair of earbuds as a preorder gift and I wanted that specific phone anyway so hey, why not. Unfortunately, their fulfillment partner happened to be Amazon.
Instead of my phone I received a book about Lemmy Kilmister. Oh, and they couldn’t correct the error; all they could do was to have me send the book back and get a refund and buy the phone again – which of course took me out of the preorder program.
Yeah, no. There’s too much bullshit with Amazon to trust them with expensive gear.
