Amazon.com & me... in Bizarro World!

[freemonkey]

I ordered a gift for hubby from Amazon the other day, and received a package from today. Imagine my surprise at seeing these titles (among other similar ones) in the box:

Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man; If It's Not Close, They Can't Cheat: Crushing the Democrats in Every Election and Why Your Life Depends On It and Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry. :eek:

Ugh, is it even legal to send that stuff through the mail? :eww:

Seriously, that bites. Do you have anything else to give him?

[viscousmemories]

Are they just giving that crap away with every order, or was it a mix-up? :D

[freemonkey]

It was a mix-up, looks like they slapped my label on someone else's box, and vice versa. I've sent an email to them about it and hopefully they'll just send another order to me, rather than wait for whoever got my package to return it.

Just reading the dust jackets, some of it looks like pretty vile stuff. But, freedom of speech and all that.....

Do you have anything else to give him?
Why, yes. Yes, I do. :flirt:

Amazon has always been very good about returns. :yup:

Well, apparently I'm the only dummy who thought you'd just found out a disturbing thing about your husband. I was all set to holler, "Divorce his sorry ass!" and then I saw something shiny before I could.

Good thing, huh? I'd have been so embarrassed.

Not your fault, because looking back over the OP, I see how you could have thought that. 'cuz of how I wasn't very clear about what had happened. :doh:

I did kind of look at him sideways, like "what th....?" when I opened the box. Good thing for him it was some other guy's name on the packing slip, I tell you what.

I hate it when that happens.

You're gonna have to tell us how this all worked out :).

Well, they sent an email apologizing for having sent the wrong package (they'll send a return label, and of course, they won't charge me postage to mail it back, etc.). They informed me that my order has been shipped and gave me a tracking number, which I checked online..........

Yeah, you guessed it. That's the tracking # for the package I received today. :chin:

I know a lot of people who order with Amazon and I'm surprised I don't hear more stories like this...I guess they usually run a pretty tight ship.

I'm not crazy about their ability to track your searches and present you with "Your Page". One day, I ended up searching homoerotic fiction (through a joke email provided by a friend) and dog grooming (we decided to save money and groom the dog ourselves). Based on "My Page", I can only imagine the profile that Amazon had of me.
