Which I am at a house in the mountains. Walmart refused to even call FedEx and find out and told me to file a police report due to the dollar amount, idiots. Totally unwilling to help, Amazon wins hand down in customer service. Ha! Now you gave it away. After some googling I now know where you live. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil B Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I have once (two years ago) been on the unexpected receiving end of such a misdelivery. Received 750 #0 padded envelopes and a gigantic roll of bubble-wrap via ebay ... this was before my reselling days (and partially inspired me later on to start). Called Ebay and the company who shipped it. They didn't seem to have a clue how it got to me (it was very clearly addressed to me though I never ordered it). Likely a mix-up in EBay's system. Left them all my contact details and asked them what to do .... but after a year I just accepted it as mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waddamon Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Well they found them, water soaked and smashed from the rain. So now I get to go through the hassle of returning them. The driver lied to FedEx the first time, then came clean. That is great. Fight Walmart to get my expedited shipping fees back as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be checking those thoroughly and would advise against selling them on Amazon in the future unless you open them to inspect the contents first. There was a warehouse issue for SC at Amazon (the usual commingled scam I am guessing) which is why you cannot send them in FBA right now. Those are some other sellers sets, not Amazon's stock direct from the manufacturer. It is anyone's guess as to what is inside the box. Just be careful with what is coming out of Amazon for this set right now. Stick to LEGO Shop at Home if you can.

fossilrock Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) I didn't realize amazon would dip into FBA stock. Why? Is this a common practice, and if that happens, how does the seller that sent in that stock get reimbursed? Especially if their prices are higher than amazon's sales price.
