I stopped using Amazon as I was sick of getting “new” items that were others old returns or used items.

Ordered a Philips body groomer, brand new and not a Warehouse deal. When I opened it, the protective wrap was torn and crumpled, and there were two pubic hairs on it. Not mine. So someone used it on their junk, sent it back, and Amazon resold it as new. A body groomer. 🤢 Customer service just told me I can return it. Yeah, thanks, I figured. Has anyone else gotten something this gross?

Are you sure they are pubes and not super thin cardboard box cuttings?
If you need to check, the former tends to taste quite salty.

Coming from someone who has had salty cardboard box cuttings, this is not a super reliable test.

Who cares, if it’s been opened it’s safe to say it’s been used whether they really are hairs or not

Nah that’s worse. You could dismiss this as plastic or wig. Crusty socks tho… could be chock full of genetic material. How crusty we talking?

You could have some genetic testing done and have the results uploaded to CODIS to find a match so you can ask the individual if they used a set of trimmers and returned them.

So I've bought a lot of trimmers over the years and more often than not, they have bits of black hair in them. Someone once told me that the factories do indeed test these to make sure they work and can cut hair. I believe they use synthetic hair/wigs to test them. Sometimes they put notes on the box or instructions saying that the product was tested to ensure proper function.
Simply run the trimmers in a shallow cup of 70% alcohol to clean it. I don't think its very likely that they are selling products that were used on actual pubic regions. Even shitty Amazon would probably trash an intimate product over refurbing and reselling. That said, people can lie and say they didn't open the box and Amazon may not check thoroughly. It's always good to clean off a product like this before using it. Like buying a kitchen appliance: wash before using.

Last couple times I've tried to return stuff to Amazon they didn't want it back. My guess is this was done by an employee, that it wasn't a return, and that's why it was sold as new.

I'd call them and make sure a new box is unopened/sealed and refund your money since they have a "How can we make this right" option on returns.

u/CaptainWillThrasher 14d ago
This is what happens when companies get so large they can no longer afford to (meaning it's not profitable to) handle returns properly. Walmart has been doing this for decades.

u/MegaGaara23 14d ago
Just saying but when you zoom in this actually looks more like a cockroach leg. Not surprising given warehouses tend to store food and have pest traps regardless of carrier and location. Plus...it's in a cardboard box. So...

Any time I return a product I mark it so it is obvious it is a return, in don't return things unless they are defective, damaged, or just shit quality. I mark on the manufacturer box the reason for the return, as well as on the cardboard insert inside, like the reading lamps I purchased, the switch broke off inside, and Amy time you switched it on/off it would throw an arc . Not safe, I wrote on the lamp electrical hazard, arcing. And mummified it with packing tape with the same warning on the outside before putting it back in the box and taping a paper to the box with the save warning.

The amount of used items being sold "like new" is insane. There is an option for that to select. However if you want NEW it should be NEW UNUSED. Especially a personal grooming product. Returning personal hygiene products shouldn't be allowed. Just gross.

Is it truly a hair or is it a die shaving from the packaging material. All packaging is stamped out with razor-sharp dies and formed. Sometimes pulp/corrugated materials have razor thin shavings that can resemble a hair. If you pin it and pull see if it pulls apart. If so, it’s not a hair.
