Guy orders camera off amazon, gets rocks, amazon sent another package, contained bricks - General

[QUOTE=Aetna;53158208] To further my point about him trying to get views... typically he gets 20k-40k on average per vid. This one got 204k, and his first one was above average at 51k. If it sells, keep doing it. [IMG]https://imgur.com/LWdxoUU.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] I don't know if that helps your point really. I mean, 50k seems about average for him, and if you go back to just 3 months ago he had a bunch of vids where he got 100k. And unless he has something to re-wrap the plastic around the camera's box, the worst thing he did was just saying he didn't have a look at the inside of the amazon box it shipped in when he had beforehand.

[QUOTE=Digivee;53157334]So I actually work at an amazon FC. And I know that its probably not theft from the actual warehouse itself, because amazon are super secure when it comes to having anything metal on you. They dont even let us have our phones because maybe we went in without an iphone x and we left with one. Its probably people returning them, and since theres little inspection on any employees part, the rocks probably sat there for a few months before a picker finally picked it, figured it was just a heavy camera in a box, and sent it off.[/QUOTE] Hey! I work at an Amazon FC aswell jee they really are taking over..

[QUOTE=Splungey;53157486]The opposite happened to me, I ordered one 750 evo and got a box of ten. I got to keep them too.[/QUOTE] This happened to me with bird food. I ordered to 2 bags of millet for $4 and they sent me 2 sacks of them with 12 bags inside each. I didn't have to buy any for like 8 months.

[QUOTE=FlakTheMighty;53158454]I was mistakenly sent a WD Red 6 TB when I ordered a WD Black 500 GB.[/QUOTE] My buddy received 2 16gb Corsair DDR4 kits when he'd only ordered one, Amazon let him keep the extra kit. He sold me one of the kits for $50, which finally gave me the wiggle room to upgrade to Ryzen from an FX-6320. They're a great company, which is why I don't buy Co2w's bs.

Stupidly lost the rubber seal ring that prevents liquid from coming out (I took it off to clean it, left it on the kitchen counter, and then threw it out when I was tidying). They sent me a brand new replacement free of charge, and said it was covered by warranty. Kinda made my day. I was fully expecting to be told to piss off for it, since it was my own fault. Or charged £5 for a piece of rubber replacement.

i feel bad for the poor guy who ordered bricks and got a camera, must be fuming

One time I ordered a watch face protector because I have a watch that scratches really easily, I received a box of literally nothing from amazon, given it was only 12 dollars and I did get a refund.

[QUOTE=cricket50;53158890]i feel bad for the poor guy who ordered bricks and got a camera, must be fuming[/QUOTE] Honestly, the way a 1DX is built, I'm sure it'll do a good job as a brick.

[QUOTE=Aetna;53158158]This is faker than shit. Co2w is one of the worst motovloggers in the community, I can't stand the guy. Not to mention the box is already opened when he "opens" it in the video. [t]https://imgur.com/6vDxN7b.png[/t] [editline]25th February 2018[/editline] If you look at the box, it's an Amazon warehouse deals taped box. So it was already opened prior to shipment (and him opening it prior to filming). The whole thing reeks of "GIMME VIEWS". You can even see the tape on the bottom of the box is split too. [t]https://imgur.com/AAagomn.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] I'm not so sure. The tape just says "exclusive deals for prime members", nothing about warehouse deals. And it doesn't look like it was already opened when he's cutting it open later, it looks like the tape just concaved a little bit. He even pulled the flaps up a bit when cutting it, and it didn't seem to fly open or anything. Additionally, he links to the camera on Amazon's website, and it seems that Amazon themselves is indeed not currently selling it, which would go along with he said about Amazon pulling stock. [editline]26th February 2018[/editline] A look at a price history confirms Amazon stopped selling it soon after this video came out. [url]https://keepa.com/#!product/1-B01B6OTTIM[/url]

Yeah, Amazon doesn't have any specific warehouse deals related tape. The item is just damaged or open boxed and has a warehouse deals sticker on it -so counters don't mark it as damaged and have it sent to damage land or a problem solver- before its sent to packing, and the tape for packing is always the "Amazon Prime Benefits! Music, Books, Deals!" stuff that it is for anything else. So if it was a deals package, there would be a bright orange sticker on the cameras box somewhere.

I ordered a phone case once, I never got it (Probably because USPS sucks where I live). Got another sent to me free of charge. That one got here fine but the damn thing didn't even fit the phone properly like it was supposed to. Can't complain about the service though

Their solution was to just give me a gift card to buy 5 of the item. I wound up buying something else with it since it was just a standard account credit, but the fact that this was their proposed solution for a 5 dollar light bulb is something that I find endlessly amusing.

Obviously just needs to order some bricks to get the actual camera on accident.

Just to give my own experience. The company I work for recently had to deal with something similar. Customers were buying *NEW* items from Amazon, not third party sellers. It's a roughly $150 item. And customers were receiving brown boxes full of foam with cutouts. So it looked like they were spare boxes from some other product. There were perhaps 100 cases of it that we dealt with. To amazon's credit they did replace them, except some people got the empty boxes again. Still not sure how it happened but some of us were thinking a third party seller came to amazon and said "hey with have this X item, we wanna put it up for sale, they're new" and amazon didn't check. The boxes didn't look like anything we made, had no branding of our company, nothing. This video and our own isn't the only cases of this lately.
