Crazy Amazon sh!t! I ordered an OTA receiver/DVR for $120.00. They delivered a box of four. I contacted customer service

via chat. Their response was to keep the additional units for which I would not be charged!

Is it a dvr for a smart tv? We dumped the dish and want to be able to record, ff and rw streaming free tv on the vizio. Bought one from BB but found out its not for a Vizio smart tv after we hooked it up. 😩

Does yours receive tv stations? Do you need a subscription with roku or any of the other streaming services?

Past the terrible two's! Ready for some waste-basket ball. My specialty. Quads would be a real parenting challenge.

I have flat feet, and I ordered two pairs of shoe inserts. They sent me one for my right foot, and three for my left foot.

Occasionally, we'll get a quadruple quantity of she ordered.
She calls the shipper and they tell her not to worry, just keep it.

I contacted them, and they said to do whatever I wanted: keep them or toss them.
I ended up noticing they belonged to our neighboring townhouse complex, so when the gate was open, I drove over and delivered them myself.

19. Amazon doesn't want your returns
Sun Dec 29, 2024, 02:10 AM

Returns just get thrown in a bin and are wholesaled in bulk, sight unseen. If you decide to "return" a brick, they'd never know it, only the person who bought the pallet of returned items would.

They'd rather save the return shipping costs.
