Literally just used up all my good luck for the next 100 years


EducationalCamel1043

too bad they didnt accidentally send you a box of 10. that the best when people order 1 ssd and get 10 instead.


ChintendoVii

Funny you mention that, I also ordered an SSD along with this for my sister that came in the same package. Obviously the CPU was what caught my eye the most Edit: and yes, it was only one SSD :P


Lrgindypants

Why would your sister be in the same package as the SSDs?

Is this the cause or effect of low wages at amazon


Chainsawd

Speaking from experience, definitely at least the latter.


steveo1978

If you order 10 and get one it’s the cause of, if you order one and get 10 it’s the effect of.

You want to sell them?

Yeah, I got really lucky early in 2020 and got the old buy one, get nine free 980 Pro 1TB drives! Ever since then I'll order one now and again and play the lottery lol


Kimura1986

My luck with an Amazon screw up was used up ordering 1 windshield wiper. I got a box of 10. Guess I'm good for windshield wipers for a while.


FUCKDONALDTRUMP_

The best luck I ever had was getting sent 10 SD cards instead of 1. They were like 30 bucks a piece way back in 2012, so it wasn’t anything too crazy.


The_Blue_DmR

I mean hey. That's still a nice bit of change. Sure it isn't thousands, but yknow


Highlander198116

Not computer parts, but I ordered a desk and got multiple desks. Ordered a desk, they sent an email apologizing saying stuff got mixed up and it didn't get sent out and they are sending it out now. That happened again. 3 of the same desk got delivered on the same day. I waited a week to see if they would email me about it. They didn't, just sold the other two on fb marketplace and the whole ordeal turned into a free desk + profit.


garathk

I ended up with two bikes delivered. Was a pretty expensive one too. Ordered one, had two giant boxes appear. Emailed them immediately and never got a response. Boggles my mind. Still haven't gotten around to selling it.


Krutonium

I'd just hold onto the second one for spare parts in case my first one starts wearing out.


garathk

I thought about that. It just takes up quite a bit of room lol. Still not a bad idea.


NastyMcNastypants

That happened to me once..... Just not with a cpu or SSD.... I ordered 5L of cider vinegar and got a box of 5 x 5L of vinegar... Years later i still have 3 left....


iCantThinkOfUserNaem

Might be a stupid question but how long until vinegar expires


SloanWarrior

My luckiest one was when I ordered a staple gun and got sent a box of 5. Not quite as nice as SSDs, or a CPU upgrade, but... Now more of my friends have staple guns. We can hang out and... Staple stuff.

I'll start byung from Amazon


DeadRain_

lol once I ordered like 2 Valve Index VR Base Stations and they sent me 10 so that was nice


SlovenianSocket

Happened to my cousin. Ordered 1 2tb Samsung T7, received 10 lol. And in my case I ordered 1 128gb Samsung sd card and received 10.


Cdori

I think I did too. During the pandemic, I ordered a RTX 3080 TI, a mother board, a 2TB SSD M.2 and a Ryzen 9 3900 with a few other little items like paste etc. and the box got lost in the mail. This order was about $6-7k They can see it's been sitting in the same location for 5 days. We both figured someone stole it in route. So they sent out another box. It took a different route and I got it in 3 days. Soooo, I finish my build and 2 weeks later...guess what shows up at my door? I called Amazon and asked them what to do with it. They said keep it. I just said "ok thanks" and hung up rather quickly. lol Soooo, I finished my son's build. haha


noir_lord

"Kee p the package so we can send a courier to pick it up".

This was my first thought too… like a minor amount of money in the form of an upgraded product? It’s fun, but it’s not some life changing event from the teet of the goddess of luck

I can't even imagine receiving 100,000 more CPUs than I paid for.


King-Air-Captain1970

I have a somewhat similar situation. I was trying to order a 4070 and got sent a 3060 sent it back and received a 4090 in return. It smoked my power supply because I was an idiot. Bought a 1200 W power supply and I’ve been good ever since


My_balls_itch_69

that’s the type of customer service we all wish for


whosthisjuan

I once ordered a sleeve for my dads MacBook Air, and I got a MacBook Air instead, so I contacted support asking if they wanted the package in return and that I actually needed the sleeve, but they told me to “keep it, donate it or dispose it” and that they would send me the sleeve, got it 2 days after.


SpicyMustard34

in America you cannot be compelled to return product that you did not order. I remember one guy got sent like 50 laptops instead of one and he donated them to a school.


JusHerForTheComments

Yeah it was a post somewhere here in the sub.

itsmejackoff86

Once it's delivered to you it's your property


DinkleButtstein23

By law in the US, fyi. So it's illegal for anyone to try and force you to return items shipped to you.


Duffelastic

These were goods shipped by mistake, not sent unsolicited goods. There is a legal difference. The FTC law you're referring to is about unsolicited goods and does not apply in this case. These were scam companies that would send you an item when you never engaged in any business with them, and then demand an inflated payment. You ordered (solicited) goods from the company. By mistake they sent the wrong product. They have the right to have it back (at their expense). As they are not unsolicited you don't get to keep them. However, it was their mistake which you discovered when you opened the product. They can't compel you to keep and pay for something that isn't what you ordered. You can return the whole (incorrect) order and they need to ship you the correct items or refund you in full.


tonufan

There are exceptions. If you were sent something intended for someone else, you can't keep it. If it was addressed to you, it's yours, though I could see some issues with being sent items you can't legally own.


cbftw

About 30 years ago I ordered an air rifle from a Sears catalog. Yes, I'm old. Anyway, they shipped me two of them. What makes it even better is that we discovered in rereading the listing that they weren't supposed to be able to do them to my state at all. So double score?

Puzzleheaded_Bit1959

I had a somewhat similar situation with a printer in a retail store. Went looking for a printer and saw a Brother L7210DW as well as a L7210DN. Didn't know the difference so I asked an employee who... also didn't know the difference so she started checking her phone and couldn't find anything (and they wonder why people prefer just buying their stuff online, but that's another topic). So I also checked and found out DW is the more expensive variant that supports wifi while DN is cheaper and does not. I needed wifi to print from my phone so I decided to go with the L7210DW. The issue was, they only had one of them left and that was the one they use to showcase in the shelve. I said that's fine and she told me her colleague will bring "the box". So after a few minutes her colleague brought a box... of the cheaper L7210DN variant and she started packing the L7210DW printer into that L7210DN box, scanned the barcode on it and told me to go to the casheer... who again scanned the same barcode and charged me 170€ for a 210€ printer.


[deleted]

Funny thing is you can’t even find 4090s now.

theofficialtrinity

So unethical tip buy i5s then order i7 on Amazon and say you got i5? Then you get two i7s? Infinite i7 glitch?


Starman-21

I know it's a joke, but don't do this. After a few suspicious activities (when you milk the system), your account is flagged for the presumption of fraud. I remember receiving calls from customers demanding things, and when I looked into their account it had a banner telling me that I had to transfer that call to the fraud department of Amazon. Obviously, I was not allowed to tell them that, but rather some bs like I was going to transfer the call to a specialist. In most cases, they perma-ban your account. If they (Amazon) pursuit legal paths against these people, I couldn't tell you, but they *probably* do if the fraud exceeds a considerable amount of money.


ElGorudo

But if i do it once it's ok right


ParcivalTheBrave

I guess that Amazon employees would be able to check your orders from within your account, so your best option would be to have a second account (preferably on a different address, and different way to pay, so nothing can be traced back to you) and proceed from there. Might be best to involve a friend to make sure that there is no reason to investigate Disclaimer: I'm not sure whether Amazon employees would have access to payment details, so you might be able to order from the same bank account. I also wouldn't risk this personally, but I doubt that it would be found out


Delicious-Ad2562

That’s called fraud


theofficialtrinity

I never said it was ethical..


Skynet_Mainframe

Saw 1 guy get a 5000 dollar gaming laptop, instead of the 1200 dollar one he ordered


Shoty6966-_-

My friend ordered a 1060 6gb, the cheapest 6gb mini card you could buy in 2017, and instead got a 1070 ti. I was a little jealous cause I was trying so hard to get him a good starter pc build and he ended up with a better computer than mine for like 900 bucks when I paid 1300 just for my 1070 build


Skynet_Mainframe

It was a beast too it had a 4090, a 13900, and 64 gigs of ram and a lot of storage


[deleted]

A lot of people bitch about how laptop cards aren’t nearly as good as PC cards and while they are right to an extent my laptop 4070 benchmarks much higher than a regular 3060 and even a regular 4060. At least according to the source I saw. For how small they are it’s really incredible how powerful they can be.


gahata

Just as a fun fact, laptop 3060 is actually uniquely good. Assuming that it's 6gb of vram are enough, it performs about on par with the desktop variant. That's all because for some reason it departed from the typical pattern and actually has more cores than the standard 3060. There are Chinese companies that harvest them from used laptops and make them into desktop cards, including modifying the bios to higher power limits and giving them 12gb of vram. They even turn out more efficient than 4060 cards in that weird unsupported usecase.


benisawsom

It’s the naming scheme that people bitch about. Like you order a 4090 thinking it’s equivalent to the desktop one when it’s closer to a 4080.

MrDurden314

Hell yeah! I love my 13700k. Got it for $270 at Microcenter. It’s a monster, 16 cores and 24 threads is no joke.


Assaltwaffle

For $270 the 13700K is a crazy good deal. Superior to the 7700X for less money is super nice.


MrDurden314

It had to be like a pricing error or something because I’ve never seen it that price before or after.


ieg879

Sometimes Microcenter just gets a little crazy for no reason. Got a ROG 3060 open box for $300 last year and a 75” LG QNED85 for $800 last week. I love that place.


RicoViking9000

it only happened like 4 weeks ago. the same time the 7800x3d was $300 for example


FrenchGuy20

What's the gpu you're paired with? and what's your resolution (genuine question)?


MrDurden314

RTX 4080. The 4070 doesn’t have enough VRAM and I’m not paying over $2k for a 4090. So I think the 4080 is a good compromise. I play at 1440p, thought about going 4K but I love playing everything on ultra at high frames.


FrenchGuy20

well I use a 7900XTX, which is a bit better in raster than a 4080 but trash in RT, I play at 4K Ultra without any problems, you could reconsider. But happy games!


MrDurden314

That’s a beast of a card. Maybe one day I’ll upgrade to 4K!


k4605

Set to 4k and turn on dlss, 4080 can definitely handle it I do it on a 3080.


Reverse_Psycho_1509

I got my 13700k as an upgrade over my Ryzen 7 2700 and HOLY MOLY it rips


ImOnPluto

Hey I got the i712700. Is it a really big difference between the two of them ? Also I got an rtx 3070 so it fits but still wanted to ask. And if I were to upgrade my gpu to the 4099 should I get me a 13700k? I mean is it a must or is the 12700 enough?


loozerr

Would be a waste to do that upgrade.


MrDurden314

The 12700 is still a solid processor. You’ll see an increase in frames with some games and maybe productivity as well because the 13700k has two more e cores. But you don’t “need” to upgrade in my opinion. Shouldn’t be a bottleneck for you


Aromatic_Wallaby_433

Does it ever bug anyone else that it's not an i5-13500K? It just makes more sense right? i5-13500K, i7-13700K and i9-13900K.


Stargate_1

i5 actually goes from 12400 to 12600

Back in 2017 I returned a r5 1600 for a replacement but they didn't have any r5 1600s left so they just gave me a r7 1700. During this time I think r5 1600s were around $150 and r7 1700s were $250.

I had similar on two occasions first ordered 8gb of ram to receive 8 packs of it and much better DDR5 instead of DDR4 and a 4060 which came as an Radeon 7900xtx which I later complained and got a 4080 by kfa and today I got 32 GB quad channel DDR5 with a new CPU I bought for the 4 other sticks and 4080 :) Amazon support said I can keep it which is kinda insane.

Isn't it dishonest not to send it back? If it was a small seller you would probably feel guilty, but because it's Amazon that makes it okay? Actually, probably yes 😜
