I have had a few delivery mix ups over the years but one of the craziest was years ago when my kids were young. I ordered four pairs of snow boots and a few other things from Lands End which came in a large box. I ended up returning all the boots so put them back in the box and lugged the box to my local Sears that had a Lands End department. They returned my items and took the box off my hands.
Weeks and weeks later, I come home to find this huge box on my porch - so heavy I had to slide it inside. I opened the box to find it was stuffed, and I do mean stuffed, full of Lands End items. I figured out that it was a box of returns from my local Sears they were shipping back to Lands End warehouse. Though there was a label on it, the label from my order was still on the box (did not dawn on me they would be reusing the box or I would’ve removed the label). So apparently the UPS guy scanned my label, not the warehouse label. There were all kinds of bathing suits, kids’ clothing, a man’s suit jacket, etc. Not that I would’ve kept anything but it was funny to go through it. There was easily close to $1K worth of clothing inside. I called Lands End and had to convince them to send UPS back. I could not carry the box myself plus it wasn’t my problem!
Funny story this summer. I bought a pair of Olukai flip flops off Amazon Prime. When they came, there felt like something was wrong with how the strap was hitting the side of my foot. I have the same exact pair and know how they fit and was sure these would give me a blister. I packaged back up, returned and bought a new pair a few weeks later. Well, they sent back the same exact pair - I could tell b/c of the way they were packaged it was the ones I had sent back plus they still had the weird strap issue. I’m guessing they were the one pair in my size sitting in a local Amazon warehouse so just resent them. I returned again and bought a new pair from Nordstrom - same price, free shipping. I’m leery about buying certain things from Amazon for fear they might be counterfeit and with the funky strap, decided it was safer to order from Nordstrom.
