Has this happened to you? You come home from work, your tired and generally pissed off because the traffic makes the ride home ruin the enjoyment of finishing a days work. Then there's a package in front of your door addressed to you, with no return address. First thought I had was - I didn't order anything. Where did this come from? Great, now I get another job to do - figure out what this all about. Once inside, I sit down and open it. A hard cover book "How to grow World Record Tomatoes". I have no need to grow tomatoes. The label on the box says it's from Amazon. So Pick up the phone and call their 'Customer Service' number. The rep that answered was nice, polite etc. I explained what happened and asked I should return it to Amazon. Her answer 'If you want you can, but we don't care if you just keep it' My reply: 'Am I going to be billed for this book I didn't order? Rep: 'What's the Amazon order number?' I gave it to her, a few minutes later. 'Yes I see you didn't order it, so you won't be billed for it. My advise is to just enjoy it, throw it out and forget all about it and have a nice day' My reply: ' OK. bye'. And that was the end of that, or so I thought.
Credit card bill arrives a few days later. "Amazon item ....... $29.92'. I call 'Customer Service' ME: WTF is this charge for $29.92? I called about it before and the rep said 'there was no charge I can keep it or toss it' Rep2: 'Ah ha! I see the order was posted after the call you made the first time. I'll get rid of it and your credit card will be credited' Me: 'Thank You' bye.
I waited an hour. Then I called the Credit Card company 'Customer Service' - asked them to check the days charges especially within the last couple of hours. They assured me there was a credit applied for $-29.92 from Amazon.
'Thank You' bye.
All I could think of was how I had to spend my time on the phone fixing a problem had nothing to with creating.
That all happened last week.
Last night when I got home. Guess what? There was a package on my doorstep from Amazon - addressed to me - that I did not order. This time I got a Purple Dildo. Needless to say the conversation with the Amazon Customer Service Girl was interesting. At one point I could hear a bit of laughing in the background - but I was holding back my laughter too. She actually told me 'Use it or throw it away - it's up to me' Me, being the wise ass I am said 'Right now, or should I wait till I'm off the phone?' She replied 'Up to you, sir. Have a nice day'. and she disconnected.
I'll call the Credit Card company later - I have a difficult decision to make.
