fbhjrI ordered my wife a present from Amazon.com. I won’t say what it is yet as
I haven’t had the chance to give it to her. But, it is something to go
with the iPhone I got her last week.
I ordered it overnight so it would get here today and I could give it to
her before we go to NYC tomorrow.
This morning a package came in from Amazon and our tech (explosive) brought
it over to me.
“There wasn’t any paperwork on it,” he said. “So, I can’t receive it.”
“Don’t worry, it is something I bought for my wife, so it isn’t on a
company purchase order,” I told him.
I opened the box. What came out was not what I was expecting.
“You bought your wife a dog’s cheerleader outfit?” he asked. “I really
don’t want to know what the two of you are into.”
“This isn’t what I ordered,” I told him. “We don’t even have a dog.”
“Well, this is what they shipped you,” he said.
“Why would dog costumes even be in the same part of the warehouse as phone
accessories?”
“They drop it off, I bring it to the person whose name is on the box,” he
said. “I don’t even try and explain what is in it.”
As he walked off, I began trying to navigate Amazon’s “easy” return policy.
There doesn’t really seem to be a section for “you sent me a dog costume
instead of an iPhone accessory”.
There are sections for if I didn’t like it, it was damaged, I want to
exchange it or it doesn’t fit.
Finally, I did find a section for “you sent me the wrong thing”.
As I was filling it out, the tech came back.
“UPS came back with another box,” he said, handing it to me. “I can’t wait
to see what is in this one.”
I opened it up, and it was what I had ordered.
“See!” I said. “This is what I wanted to give my wife!”
“It’s very nice,” he said. “What are you going to do with the dog costume?”
“You want it?” I asked. “I haven’t had a dog since 81 when I left for
college, so it’s not much use to me.”
“My dog is too big for a medium, and I wouldn’t put him in a dress anyhow,”
he said. “You should keep it as a free gift.”
Somehow, I don’t think they are sending free dog costumes to people as a
free gift.
I’ll probably send it back.
