I don't want to scare but you might have to leave your home to get these boxes. Here's what you do: (1) get in your car (2) drive to Lowes (3) purchase boxes there (4) return home with purchase

I don't understand how it matters that the granola company orders their boxes from the same seller. Why would there be a granola sticker underneath the box sticker unless it was shipped to the granola company first? He's going right to the box company. Half of me thinks I'm missing something and/or just not getting it, but half of me thinks it doesn't make any sense and he hasn't actually figured out the reason for this yet. Anyone got a different way to explain it to me?

Who else didn't find this funny?

What does this have to do with Groundhog Day?

I feel like if you got to keep everything Amazon sent you by mistake, for free, then Amazon would not be making any mistakes at all any more.

I once ordered a package of 8 picture frames. They came, they were lovely, I used them, recycled the box. 3 days later, I got another identical package of picture frames which I did not order. Asked for a return authorization, not ordered, couldn’t get one because they never charged my account. Called Amazon, explained the situation, and was told that’s not possible. Went back and forth, gave up, thought ok, i tried, I have some free frames. Three days later another package of frames, another phone call, another person telling me "that’s not possible". This happened 4 more times when I finally begged them to check their shipping records. They got back to me, OMG, so sorry, will send email how to return at no charge, thank you, thank you, thank you. That was summer 2018 and I still have the fekking packages of picture frames, now in storage.

I laughed out loud the entire thread but the 3 packs at the end was the cherry on top that made me really burst in big laughter

Yay, this is the “technological marvel of the future”. Mindless corporations who employ/abuse wage-slave workers, offer “customer service” that consists of a few humans trapped reading out tightly restricted scripts from ineffectual isolated silos, and an overall system run by an utterly thoughtless set of Kafkaesque procedures and hyper-stupid “AI” algorithms. Occasionally the stupidity of the system (or malicious compliance via a disgruntled/abused employee) provides customer bonuses like when I received three CARTONS of Earl Grey tea, rather than three BOXES of Earl Grey tea bags (it’s like Amazon stealing from itself). But when it’s not an accident that helps you, it’s a nightmare of absurdity trying to get it acknowledged, let alone corrected. Note that this entity is displacing real stores, and we poor are driven to support them. Proof that corporations are not people and should never be allowed to have any benefit of personhood (such as “money = speech”, “Citizens United”).

Those are some nice coasters!

Wouldn't it have been easier to buy them at a brink-and-mortar location? -gen-X'er scratching his head...

That is seriously hilarious and frustrating.

LMAO! The bar code post is the best. There are lots more products out there that will either get you boxes you didn't order OR products you didn't order in boxes.

I lol'd when I got to #12!

Should have kept the Harry Potter coasters

It is all worth it to have a meme made for you.

Having worked for Amazon picking orders, I see at least two big problems here. 1) the scanner should not accept the other barcode, the fact that it did (does?) means that the ICQA (inventory control quality assurance) team is screwing up big time. 2) having also worked as a packer, I am equally amazed that the computer allowed the item to be packed! There are a few safeguards in place to prevent something like this from happening, including the weight of the package!

btw, that Purely Elizabeth granola is so damn delicious, that I started eating it all day long

Cute kitty

I can't believe anyone would actually pay money for boxes. What is this fuckery??
