Had a $200 coffee maker delivered a few years ago. It was a box in a box, and they mixed up orders. I still got my items and when I contacted them about it, they just told me to keep it.


I had similar. $250 Hoover carpet cleaner delivered to house that I didn’t order. They said just keep it.

True story: I once was shipped a “Fist Shaped Dildo Dong” along with my LG refrigerator filter (that I actually did order). I was to embarrassed to contact Amazon about it but I was very curious how that could have happened.

About 10 years ago. Amazon sent me a 500.00 ice machine that I didn't order. I called them and explained the situation. They had zero record of this order or item and said I could keep it.

I bet if you let Amazon know they'll just say keep them.

But regardless, I would let them know because I'm not an a-hole.

Was with you till you said you're not an a-hole. This reveals you most likely are.

If you have to pay to return, their yours.

A friend of mine works overseas as a robotic welder on oil platforms. He returned home on October 29th and a large Amazon box was at his door. He lives in rural Wisconsin by himself. The nearest neighbor is a couple of miles away. In the box were 50 shower curtains which he did not order. Amazon told him to keep them.

On Halloween he went to his sister’s house in Green Bay with the shower curtains and gave them out to trick or treaters.

That's a moral delimma?


Hopefully your husband makes all the decisions in your "relationship".

Wife house bound does all of her shopping via internet. We have agreement that all purchase must be through Amazon because it's the most reliable. Going outside of Amazon is a horrible scam worthy experience.

This is not a moral dilemma. You are under no moral obligation to go out of your way to correct their error.

I ordered something for a speaker, took about a week. I was out of town, so no hurry. When I got home it was in my PO Box. Days later I got another package, same thing on the outside as to markings, it came from China.

Weeks later I told my daughter about it. We opened it up, it was nothing close to what I had ordered.

Happened to me with an XL dog kennel. This was about $100 value and Amazon told me to keep it. This also happened at home Depot with a 10ft ladder. Another $100 item. I ordered online and picked up from the store. The next day the store called me to tell me that the item was ready to pick up. I told them that I had already picked it up. They called me three more times and every time I told them I had already picked it up. Finally on the fourth time I just went and picked up the second ladder and gave it to my father-in-law who needed one.

It’s my understanding (from my bride) that Amazon throws away anything returned.

Some fulfillment guy in a warehouse was bored and felt like fricking with someone.

Ordered a bass seat for my boat a few weeks ago, it was $85.00 for a two piece boat seat. The back, and the seat. Used our rewards, brought it down to $55.00. Ok. Get the delivery and I get two seats, not one. Look back on the sales receipt and it says one two piece seat. I believe Amazon does this for increased sales later on.

Bought my wife one of those expensive KitchenAid stand mixers years ago. It was several days overdue. Contacted Amazon. They refunded and told me that if it arrived later to keep it. It arrived the next day

Thing was like 500 bucks

That could have been a brushing scam I’ve never seen as about, but usually those are cheap items.

There's hardly anyone in America that Amazon hasn't told to keep hundreds of dollars worth of stuff so they don't have to process a return.

Makes you realize just how high their profit margins must be.

I have no moral obligations to Bezos
