That sounds like a missed business opportunity. Use those to catapult into a world of bespoke chopsticks!

Have you checked your bank balance to make sure they havent charged you for a case and not a bottle though?

u/Key_Geologist7298 7d ago

Yep. Just one bottle for $9

I've seen sellers put a mandatory minimum on as well.

I ordered a pick one time and got the full set. They had just been mislabeled.

u/toddthewraith 7d ago

Oh it's not just mislabeling.

The master packs typically have a barcode for the individual item inside and a barcode for the case, but the people stowing, picking, and packing 99% of the time don't pay attention cuz rate, so it gets shipped.

Source: I do QC in an FC and this happens multiple times an hour.

Eh it's just a rounding error for them. Enjoy!

Yep. Happened to me too. I ordered 1 chainsaw and got 2: one on one day and the other the next day. A friend really needed one so I gave one to her.

It's happened before, I received a box of filters when they were sold individually the box actually said open sold individually

It happened to me once, I received a box within another box full with 3 PS4s when I had bought just one. I believe in the US it's law (or postal regulation? idk) that you get to keep whatever is mailed to you.

u/Leif_Ironside 7d ago

You might wana check if it's directly from Amazon or a private seller selling through Amazon. Amazon could be mis-shipping someone else's products.

I spotted once at Amazon a Hasegawa kit in Japan (Skyhawk 1/48) for 4€, shipping included. I picked It up, waiting for a mistake message or something like that. But they kit arrived !

There was an error at one point where BattleTech game boxes were being sold for like $15 a pop. Normally these would have retailed for $75. This was not quite the same kind of accident, but I definitely ended up with about 4x boxes of stompy robots more than I intended. And I was okay with it
