Also this is a 100+ EUR case and I paid about 24 EUR for it due to a pricing error, so I'm not too bothered
Oh god. So my parcel arrived, and...
They sourced coffee machine water filters (made in Italy) from an electronics shop chain in Croatia, had it shipped to their warehouse in Poland, which forwarded it to a warehouse in Luxembourg, which possibly via Germany shipped it to my house in the Netherlands in a hugely oversized box.
And they put a label marking it as "Antec P9 ATX case" on the box at the Poland -> Luxembourg step. On the box of water filters.
What the actual fuck.
@joepie91 so this sounds immensely like a scam situation
i wouldn't be surprised if they have a second item (something small and random) shipped to you without you ordering, there's a technique called 'brushing' where scammers get your address details and use them to make another order, then use that to give a verified purchase review that Looks completely fine and not suspicious and like it came from a real customer's address
@joepie91 if you're 100% sure the seller's real, maaaaybe that won't be the case and this is just the weirdest fuckup of all time, but, that's my gut reaction seeing this on the fedi TL lol
@manifold This was sold directly by Amazon (not a third-party seller), and it was also associated with my actual order by tracking number, and even the internal shipping label to their warehouse was mislabelled as the intended product. This really is the (attempted) fulfillment of my PC case order... :/
@joepie91 wild lmao okay
in that case good luck with the refund!
@manifold Thanks, they actually did already refund it, but tbh I would've much rather gotten the case, it's pretty much unavailable nowadays and *certainly* not for that price...
@manifold I guess I did end up costing Amazon money in the end, albeit not in the expected way :p
Bonus: it was ordered from Amazon, first-party. I normally wouldn't buy stuff from Amazon, but in this case it's pretty much guaranteed to have cost them money :D
