"I wonder if anyone has had the experience of receiving something completely different when online shopping? I once bought a laptop online, thinking that nothing could be quirkier than what I received. Turns out, I was wrong! Just came across a story where someone ordered a laptop online and when they opened the box, it wasn't a laptop inside but ""two boxes of cereal""!
The incident took place in the UK. A woman had recently purchased a laptop online, and when she opened the box, instead of finding a laptop, she discovered ""two boxes of cereal""! But what's puzzling is, don't packages have weight measurements? Cereal surely doesn't match the logical weight for a laptop.
Lizzie Pattison from Staffordshire, UK, ordered a laptop on the Amazon online shopping platform, planning to gift it to her 10-year-old daughter for Christmas and as a reward for next year's primary school assessment exams.
However, instead of a pleasant surprise, she got quite the shock. Upon receiving the package, Lizzie opened it only to find ""two boxes of cereal"" instead of the laptop. She immediately contacted Amazon for a refund, but initially, the platform stated they wouldn't investigate the matter, citing that the 30-day return period had already expired.
Lizzie was understandably upset about her experience and lodged a complaint with the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation), which helped investigate the issue. Eventually, Amazon agreed to provide a refund and compensated Lizzie with £40 as well.
Isn't that compensation quite meager? And there's no refund of the original amount? Well, online shopping does require finding reputable stores to make purchases from!" |
