A player bought a new gaming keyboard on Amazon. When he opened the delivery, he found that his package contained 5 of them. Unfortunately, the Reddit community has bad news for him.
What did the player order? The buyer from the UK ordered a gaming keyboard from Razer, specifically the Ornata V3 X. Price: £51.98, around 60 Euros. Everything seemed to be normal during the order.
However, when the package finally arrived, he was astonished to find that he had received a multi-pack with 5 of the same keyboard.
“Has anyone experienced something like this before?”
He reveals all this in a Reddit post on r/pcmasterrace, which he introduces with the phrase: “Amazon really screwed up….in my favour”
- The buyer with the Reddit username Polybius1985 asks the community: “Has anyone ever had anything like this happen to them? Because this is a first for me….”
- Indeed, such things happen from time to time – a player once bought an expensive OLED monitor and ended up receiving two of the same model
In the comments, there’s also a user who claims to work at Amazon. He explains how this might have happened:
This box is called a Master Pack (Multiple Set) and the Amazon Picker accidentally scanned the ASIN on the outside of the box but didn’t even bother to open the box to pick a single unit.
What is the bad news? On one hand, the player paid £52 for a membrane keyboard – a major sacrilege for many PC gamers who swear by mechanical keyboards.
- “52 pounds for a membrane keyboard ?!”, asks Reddit user t1609
- Apocalypse_0415 writes: “Its membrane, sell all and buy mechanical”
- “On one hand you got 5 membrane keyboards for the price of 1. On the other hand you got 5 membrane keyboards”, says seanc6441
However, the buyer defends himself: He says this was the bundle price including a Deathadder mouse. “I didn’t get 5 of them too unfortunately”, he adds.
But more seriously, there’s a note that the buyer likely won’t be able to keep the keyboards. Since he lives in the United Kingdom, he will have to return the goods, as another Reddit user explains.
MeinMMO asked a lawyer what you should do in such a case in Germany.
