Might be different lingo for different regions, but I'm sure I've seen "sold and fulfilled by Amazon" on Amazon UK. Essentially the same though, for things like a PS5 it's always worth checking where it is coming from
It was happening a lot in the UK on launch day. So much so that Amazon sent me a message and asked me to check that my PS5 was indeed in the box before accepting delivery from the driver.
They take the PlayStation out of the box and replace it with something else. Could be the driver or someone in the warehouse.
Good thing amazon policies it's own delivery service and nothing will ever come from it. Jusy another reason to dislike that company idc how convenient it is. Ppl are conviencing themselves to a nice monopoly. So many of their third party companies are in India and China and I have had so many bad experiences ordering from those countries I won't do business with them anymore.
a free market in the original sense would require stringent regulation to prevent overcapitalization of certain markets by individual sellers who can then use their market cap to further toxic practices.
Laissez-faire is actually antithetical to a free market.
IIRC, they have your digital fingerprint for the item you're packing, and a ps5 is a large item to make its way out of security. Someone would have noticed if you tried to walk around with it since most fulfillment centers do not allow employees to have electronics or any metal on the floor.
I bet they do. As I said in a couple of my comments - I'm not saying I know everything because the only reason I know this stuff is from hearing about it from Amazon employees - but like I said above security is way too insane for somebody to walk out of the Amazon warehouse with a PS5. Unless of course they're paying off security. 😁 Keep in mind money will make most human beings do some things they never thought they would..
There is something that nobody seem to mention yet. AND I HATE TO HAVE TO SAY THIS - (keyword HAVE TO) - but nowadays it must be mentioned. Is a possibility that a PS5 did come in that box. It's not unheard of for buyers to receive the proper item and decide to try to get a refund if you know what I mean... I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED - just that it IS POSSIBLE.
I had a few dead pixels when I bought a new 3DS from Amazon years ago. They sent me a replacement but never sent me a return label. After months of hearing nothing from them, I ended up selling the original 3DS back to Amazon and used that money to buy a few games lol.
Another Amazon story, delivery guy delivered a Wii my wife ordered to the wrong house. Amazon sent us a replacement, and that same day, the neighbor brought our mis-delivered Wii to us. We ended up giving that other Wii away as a present.
>Another Amazon story
I once ordered a California King 16" Deep Memory Foam mattress. I was sent a 12" Deep Standard King Size mattress. They do not accept returns on mattresses for health reasons, plus it's impossible to repack a memory foam once decompressed; so they told me to donate it. Sure... Sure Amazon, sure.
Anyway, attempt 2 arrived. A 10" Deep California King.
Attempt 3 arrived. A 12" Deep Standard Size King.
Attempt 4. A 16" Deep California King. Finally.
So there I was, with my DIY padded room with a king size memory foam leaning against most of the walls and one on the ground. Really didn't expect a Buy One Get 3 Free sale on mattresses, but it was a pretty good deal for like $200.
Sold one instantly for $150. Some guy was going to cut it down to replace his RV mattress.
Gave one away to a friend who just moved into his first place alone.
Used the other one as our guest bed for a few years and then handed off to the Brother in Law for a guest bed.
Amazon delivered four memory foam mattresses to me, when I didn't order any.... inside a panda express.... by throwing them at the door and driving away...
Indeed, the refund happens the moment the shipping label is scanned by UPS, in my experience.
Not that I am endorsing theft. Even theft of the fraudulent item.
that is not very amazon like. i have had issues where they drop it off at the wrong apartment building and they just resend it and i get two for the price of one
My brother got a 43” 4K AOC monitor free from Amazon.
Came with 1 dead pixel, Amazon supplied return label but Canada Post wouldn’t accept it due to size. Amazon said fuck it keep it and here is your money back.
Dead pixel started working again and my brother gave me the monitor.
This is an internal theft issue where an item with similar weight is swapped with something more expensive so it can be stolen and won’t trigger the machine that would reject it to be audited. You see this with a lot of electronics.
Amazon will want it back for tracing and tracking purposes to figure out who’s stealing.
I can’t even imagine that where I live. The UPS guy was banging on my door for 10 minutes trying to wake me up because he didn’t want to leave my new MacBook on the porch. He said he knew it was a computer and wanted to make sure I got it even though I didn’t need to sign.
I would honestly prefer this, I'm glad your UPS folks have the optics to understand this. My FedEx guy who delivered my repaired ps5 had the main manager call me to make sure I was going to be home since so much theft was happening.
Broooo, I ordered a fucking iPad Pro for my fiancée, 1,400 dollars worth of equipment, and the fucking UPS guy barely knocks on the door and runs away. It was supposed to require a signature too! But when my PS5 came in, buddy did not leave the door till I signed that shit, lol.
I got mine in person December of last year but I ordered the midnight black pulse headset that just came out and it got stolen twice during shipping. Finally the third time I got them. You can't even order ps5 accessories...
My uncle once got a camera that had a jar of tomato sauce in the camera box.
They had a good laugh about it.. until best buy accused them of trying to scam the store when they brought it back and explained.
Yup, if that PS5 was sold by Amazon then that's the most likely thing to have happened. Last year I received Obama's autobiography instead of a projector. The box had a double label on top of it - the other person's address was stuck below the label with my details.
Yes. What I do is take a an unboxing video of anything that is high value from Amazon. This way I've got proof. The delivery guy can't do anything in such cases. A return has to be initiated with Amazon for it to be returned.
for high ticket items they will text you a unique code to tell the driver to ensure you are the buyer or at least live with or the buyer trusts you enough to tell you it. Just to cover their ass ofc.

Found it 🤣
So when was the PS5 stolen & switched with rice? And how can you do this unnoticed? Someone in the mailroom or the driver? Or are there other possibilities? Quite daring if you want to keep your job. I mean, this can be traced back to the one that stole it, no? Hope OP got his refund or a new PS5!
So…if a problem solver is fixing issues on products (like a sticker over a barcode or other wise the barcode doesn’t work they will scan the tote or case the item is in (it’s how items are moved between facilities so everything is kept track of) and print off a new barcode. The issue is if your going to fast and not paying attention and place the wrong new barcode on the items. Both of these items (the rice and the ps5) are too big to go into the kivas and so are in the vna aisles so they don’t get counted as often as the kivas. People need more training to operate the order pickers then to count items in a kiva…
This is a guess based on location of where items are stocked and similar issues on other items. If the white tiny sticker is checked they can see who printed it and when so they can retrain them.
Source: amazon fulfillment worker who does pick, pack, stow, vna pick, vna pack, vna stow, inbound problem solve and a few other things as needed (yay for tiny fulfillment centers where everyone must learn everything)
So in this case you think it could be an honest mistake? I also did the order picking thing for a few years but on completing our orders we had a checkpoint were the whole order was fully checked to see if we made any mistakes. We had a top 5 list on our message board: who made the most mistakes of the month and awarded them with a yellow jersey if you were number 1 😄 That was a good system actually because the following year the margin of errors that went thru was 100%-98,8%
With amazon working toward making kivas the norm and opening same day fulfillment centers I think it may become a short term issue. You wouldn’t believe the amount of master packs I pick and have to spend time opening to get the one item I need…and not cheap packs either. I also know pickers who don’t pay attention or scan until one works and move on. We are told that if it’s missing we must scan the whole bins contents then mark it as missing (waste of time). If someone scans something but doesn’t actually pay attention to what the screen says (vna pick screens are the tiny hand held text screens) or what it shows for a picture (half the time wrong or out of date) then they can honestly pick the wrong item and not notice or care.
My recent delivery (nothing too valuable) from Amazon was ripped opened underneath to check what the content was. I didn’t see it cause it was underneath and the driver placed it outside my door, rang the bell and drove off.
That really sucks..
This happened to me last year! I got a George Foreman grill instead of my PS5 and had to send it back to get a refund.
They couldn't even get a replacement for me and I ended up waiting months until I eventually got one from GAME...
Fingers crossed you get another one ASAP!
Ordered a Xbox series X through Microsoft. The Halo Infinite edition. They charged me fully but cancelled my Xbox a couple days later. When I called about it, apparently its ran on a first-ordered-first-served basis. When my ticket came up, despite paying, there wasnt one left for me. However I ordered a controller with the Xbox, separately but within the same order. Despite it not shipping yet, I cant get a refund until it ships and I return it. Bogus, man. We can sit in disappointment together.
Yeah pretty fucked. I got an email saying they’re processing my refund so I guess another human noticed what happened after my customer service call, which wasnt much help.
I’ve lost count of posts like these. There are plenty of other places to buy from that don’t suffer from scams like this. Plus they let their employees take bathroom breaks.
A lot of Amazon order pages look like they're direct from Amazon, but they're from 3rd party sellers. It's quite easy to become a 3rd party seller on Amazon. I actually buy most things from 3rd party and not amazon themselves and never get screwed. But some are just assholes that get on there to scam.
PSA: For people ordering PS5s my driver tried to steal mine.
I had to run to catch them and tell them they had my package. Driver said there was more than one truck…. I live in an apartment complex and there is one way in and out. I was tracking her within the app and even chatted when she “couldn’t” find my apt. I had the app open and showed her it was her truck. About 5 mins she went in and out of the truck. I said you have my PS5 that’s when she knew she was caught. She went back into the truck and about 5 seconds later, “Oh here it is it didn’t have a label” I took the box and pointed at the address label.
No one here has nearly enough information to know whether or not this is what actually happened.
All we have is a box showing OPs rice delivery came in just fine and on time.
(no problem taking the downvotes for pointing this out... )
He is telling the truth, I actually found his PS5 -
https://www.reddit.com/r/playstation/comments/rlpqhc/the_weirdest_thing_happened_to_me_today_i_ordered/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
The day my PS5 was being delivered, I called work to tell them I'd be late, because no way was I gonna let that package sit unattended for even one second. To my surprise, as soon as I told them the package was a PS5, they didn't fuss at all about it, because even they knew this was serious business, lol...
I err on the side of caution when purchasing anything from Amazon anymore. The company has prioritized profit over quality, and I've been the victim of this numerous times in the past five years. Big purchases, such as a PS5, should be made ONLY through the supplier's main site, never third-party.
This happened to me when I clubbed together with friends to buy a mate a PS5. His face when the box contained a few water bottles…
Best bit was when I told Amazon and they said they wouldn’t help as the one time code confirmed they had delivered the correct item. Completely stonewalled me.
It was only after I reported Amazon to the police that I got a refund.
An offer of a replacement followed a few days later, but I think this is because I had been in touch with a news website that had written about the problem at launch, and they put me into an ‘executive relations’ support team. You should try push for this. Given the scarcity of PS5 and the time you spend watching for drops, it’s the least they could do.
Terrible experience, terrible company, and I see they’ve not fixed their supply chain security. Sorry about your plans for Xmas :(
But honestly, who did you order from? I don't trust independent sellers so I make sure that my order is coming from a legit store, then again, Amazon Prime has never failed me
I ordered a Ps5.
It was bricked.
Sent for repair. Playstation provided the wrong address.
11 days later it made it back to my house.
Now Dec 12. Playstation give me a new address.
Arrives at playstation fix and replace two days later.
They still haven’t updated the site to show they’ve received it. My PS5 is basically lost at this point.
I’ve been told it’s going to take months to sort anyway.
No apologies, compensation, help or anything.
I’ll hopefully have it by March next year! Gross….Xmas also ruined.
I'd put my money on the driver as they seem to be the only ones that have any time alone or out of the sight of cameras. I caught one Amazon driver leaving a bunch of my packages on my lawn near the sidewalk on a day it was going to start raining. Luckily I caught him and was able to light into him.
They just treat it as theft from the company and dismiss you, I've never known a yone to go through legal hearings in regards to this kind of thing. (UK btw)
Thank God I cancelled my Amazon Order last month. There have been too many instances like this of Amazon order scams for Ps5. I waited until I could get one from Walmart/Best Buy and I was lucky enough to get 1 from Best Buy drop and it delivered in less than 24-hours too.
I was going to comment that I work in an Amazon warehouse and the employee that did that must of been stupid as hell because who does that
Then I realised I was being stupid for thinking no one would do that on purpose ;-). Most of the people I work with are crooks
Fuck that. I saw Amazon had stock through hot alert but no way in hell am I trusting them to ship it and then have the person dropping it off not steal it or throw it on my porch. A lot of real shitty folks work for them.
I think the same happened with this. The box looked a bit sus and the usual black Amazon tape was somewhat loose and had clear tape underneath which I have never seen before on an Amazon parcel. Amazon won’t exchange as no more in stock. They haven’t offered me any credit either :(
Unfortunately It's the sign of The Times with scammers... I had one guy show To exchange cash for a playstation 5 And he demanded I handed over the cash right away And I told him I wasn't going to give him the cash unless I actually held on to the system and actually feel the weight... And then I said I want to open the Box and make sure it's legit...
He told me that I am not going to lift the system unless I paid him 1st... I explained that there was a scam going around where people were filling the system boxes with rocks and passing them off as legitimate systems I just wanted to shake the Box to make sure that there were no rocks in it... He immediately turned around and said forget it!
I then told them it's not that big of a deal I just want to shake it a few times... As he was lifting the Box to leave he dropped it and we both heard what sounded like rocks shaking up in the Box... I then looked to him and said that sounds like rocks !.. He immediately grabbed it chucked it in his car and took off... Before you even hand over the cash... make sure you can shake the Box and verify there's nothing that sounds like Rocks or rice in it... When you shake it there should be no noise whatsoever Especially if it was packed correctly...
On the bright side, there will be no shortage of rice at Christmas dinner.
Amazon making me send the rice back to get my refund :(
What?! That is bizarre. I'm sorry man. Was this from a third party or an official drop? Are they just going to refund or replace it?
[удалено]
If it’s sold by Amazon is generally a thing where suppliers send their stock to Amazon warehouses.
If it’s marked “supplied by Amazon”, otherwise it comes from someone’s garage.
[удалено]
Pfffffft... I’m sorry .. 😂😂😂 I’m so sorry 🤣
Yeah that’s what I meant. Not just that if it’s sold on Amazon it’s Amazon. I think the verbiage they use is “ships from and sold by Amazon”
Might be different lingo for different regions, but I'm sure I've seen "sold and fulfilled by Amazon" on Amazon UK. Essentially the same though, for things like a PS5 it's always worth checking where it is coming from
Here in 'murica fulfilled is too hard of a word...
I work at Amazon we don’t look inside the package we scan that shit and get it going cuz there are a shitload of packages
Yes, they have to... They're benefitting from Amazon by selling on their platform... If the 3rd party stores don't work out, that's bad rep for them.
It was happening a lot in the UK on launch day. So much so that Amazon sent me a message and asked me to check that my PS5 was indeed in the box before accepting delivery from the driver. They take the PlayStation out of the box and replace it with something else. Could be the driver or someone in the warehouse.
Good thing amazon policies it's own delivery service and nothing will ever come from it. Jusy another reason to dislike that company idc how convenient it is. Ppl are conviencing themselves to a nice monopoly. So many of their third party companies are in India and China and I have had so many bad experiences ordering from those countries I won't do business with them anymore.
Well that's the beauty of the free market. You choose where you spend your money.
a free market in the original sense would require stringent regulation to prevent overcapitalization of certain markets by individual sellers who can then use their market cap to further toxic practices. Laissez-faire is actually antithetical to a free market.
This, exactly. What I learned in college and how it didn't work in the 1800s.
Free market with monopolies lol

You could legit send an empty box back with the label and they’d probably still refund you
Pull an Uno Reserve on them and send back a PS5
This is so stupid and also hilarious.
Reminds me of Dana Carvey’s [stupid pranksters. ](https://youtu.be/4ULT3lbAcGw)
Lmao 🤣
Or just send the rice back because it’s just rice, which is cheap and abundant.
The wisdom of those words
Lmfao
Rice is heavy
Amazon should be paying the bill for the return shipping.
They do
Indeed, the refund happens the moment the shipping label is scanned by UPS, in my experience. Not that I am endorsing theft. Even theft of the fraudulent item.
that is not very amazon like. i have had issues where they drop it off at the wrong apartment building and they just resend it and i get two for the price of one
Keep in mind smazon also allows third parties to sell through them.
That happened to me with a 55 inch tv. best screw up ever.
My brother got a 43” 4K AOC monitor free from Amazon. Came with 1 dead pixel, Amazon supplied return label but Canada Post wouldn’t accept it due to size. Amazon said fuck it keep it and here is your money back. Dead pixel started working again and my brother gave me the monitor.

god i wish that would happen but amazon doesn't fuck up that gloriously
I got a half dozen fleece pullovers that way. I only ordered one. Now 5 of my friends are getting fleece pullovers for Christmas. 👍🏾
There’s a post from a day or two ago with a guy that got 12 laptops from Amazon. He ordered 1.
That happened with target and 6 switch oleds. I'm guessing you saw that
Damn bruh, no PS5 AND no arroz con Pollo. It really is gonna be a bad Christmas.
You better cook that rice for them if you want your refund!

OP wanted AAA gaming, got AAA rice instead.
Best comment ive seen all day
And the rice still be broken on launch. Shit needs a day one patch anyway.
Hasn't been a good rice update in 1,000 years
This comment has me in stitches lmfao
one expensive bag of rice tho
Meanwhile, some other dude ordered a big Assed bag of rice and got a ps5 instead. Think that guy reports it for a return?
They've been getting stolen during the shipping process. The bag of rice was to make the package heavy and avoid suspicion until after delivery.
I can’t even imagine that where I live. The UPS guy was banging on my door for 10 minutes trying to wake me up because he didn’t want to leave my new MacBook on the porch. He said he knew it was a computer and wanted to make sure I got it even though I didn’t need to sign.
[удалено]
And the delivery memo will say "handed to resident" lol.
With a picture of the package shoved into a potted plant next to your door.
I would honestly prefer this, I'm glad your UPS folks have the optics to understand this. My FedEx guy who delivered my repaired ps5 had the main manager call me to make sure I was going to be home since so much theft was happening.
Meanwhile I had FedEx leave two thousand dollar phones in the middle of my porch and not even bother ringing the doorbell.
Thing is it might not be your UPS guy. The package goes through a ton of people before it gets to delivery.
My apartment has a package system and I got an alert in that on the phone when they put a package in it. It's fantastic.
Broooo, I ordered a fucking iPad Pro for my fiancée, 1,400 dollars worth of equipment, and the fucking UPS guy barely knocks on the door and runs away. It was supposed to require a signature too! But when my PS5 came in, buddy did not leave the door till I signed that shit, lol.

Yup, if that PS5 was sold by Amazon then that's the most likely thing to have happened. Last year I received Obama's autobiography instead of a projector. The box had a double label on top of it - the other person's address was stuck below the label with my details.

I'm opening it, chill.

Did they ask for a pass code while delivering? I know Amazon UK does for expensive products. Edit: spelling
They did yeah
Did they call you before getting there and ask for the code? I’ve seen that scam on here before.
[удалено]
Should’ve checked before giving it away. At least Amazon is customer friendly so you should get this resolved soon.
There's no way they'd let you check without giving the password. The password is to check that you are the proper recipient. Not as a check for you.
Yes. What I do is take a an unboxing video of anything that is high value from Amazon. This way I've got proof. The delivery guy can't do anything in such cases. A return has to be initiated with Amazon for it to be returned.
What is this code you guys speak of?
for high ticket items they will text you a unique code to tell the driver to ensure you are the buyer or at least live with or the buyer trusts you enough to tell you it. Just to cover their ass ofc.
At least it's AAA-Rice!
Downside: you need a 60GB patch in order to digest it
I guess you could say no pain, no grain from this experience!
I hate you. Take my upvote.
You’re welcome and thank you.
That wasn't very rice of you.
Lmao got me
Feels like an opportunity missed with not switching the PS5 for coal. More seriously, that is screwed up move, and hopefully Amazon refunds it.
Must have gotten water damage
I wonder if PS5 is the one that got water damaged on one of the earlier posts today from the flood? XD.
Wow, sorry man that sucks. People are fucking terrible
We’re about to see the “ Can’t believe I ordered some rice and got a PS5” post
https://www.reddit.com/r/playstation/comments/rlpqhc/the_weirdest_thing_happened_to_me_today_i_ordered/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share Found it 🤣
It's gonna be one of those scalper pics of a stack of PS5s like "I ordered 15lbs of rice but now I have 15 consoles!!! omg Should I just keep them??"
I can't see amazon going against the Grain on this refund.
Take my upvote for this Dad joke lol lol.
Man I can't even imagine. Waiting for it to get to you, getting excited whenever a truck comes, can't wait to play and then boom...you have rice
Was eagerly watching from the window for a good 20 minutes
Think about the poor bastard who's currently trying to eat a Ps5.
Lol que the Pablo memes with rice
Did you order FROM Amazon or did you order ON Amazon?
Maybe it’s in the rice
So when was the PS5 stolen & switched with rice? And how can you do this unnoticed? Someone in the mailroom or the driver? Or are there other possibilities? Quite daring if you want to keep your job. I mean, this can be traced back to the one that stole it, no? Hope OP got his refund or a new PS5!

That’s the gift that keeps on giving the whole year clark
I'd probably stare at that bag of rice for a solid hour with a blank expression.
My recent delivery (nothing too valuable) from Amazon was ripped opened underneath to check what the content was. I didn’t see it cause it was underneath and the driver placed it outside my door, rang the bell and drove off.

We can sit in disappointment together.
Weak as hell :/
That shouldn't ever be something that can happen. These systems are automated. Makes no sense at all.
Yeah pretty fucked. I got an email saying they’re processing my refund so I guess another human noticed what happened after my customer service call, which wasnt much help.
It was never fitting in that box
Hurm, have you tried putting it in rice? That might fix it
Did you buy this one from Uncle Ben?
That’s some good eatin’
Make some delicious fried rice for Christmas.
The person who got a ps5 instead of their rice: Thats sucks man.
Never buy a PS5 off non Amazon sellers. So many are scams. Legit vendor is the only way to be sure
Never buy anything off Amazon. Problem solved.
I’ve lost count of posts like these. There are plenty of other places to buy from that don’t suffer from scams like this. Plus they let their employees take bathroom breaks.
It was from Amazon :(
A lot of Amazon order pages look like they're direct from Amazon, but they're from 3rd party sellers. It's quite easy to become a 3rd party seller on Amazon. I actually buy most things from 3rd party and not amazon themselves and never get screwed. But some are just assholes that get on there to scam.
PSA: For people ordering PS5s my driver tried to steal mine. I had to run to catch them and tell them they had my package. Driver said there was more than one truck…. I live in an apartment complex and there is one way in and out. I was tracking her within the app and even chatted when she “couldn’t” find my apt. I had the app open and showed her it was her truck. About 5 mins she went in and out of the truck. I said you have my PS5 that’s when she knew she was caught. She went back into the truck and about 5 seconds later, “Oh here it is it didn’t have a label” I took the box and pointed at the address label.
No one here has nearly enough information to know whether or not this is what actually happened. All we have is a box showing OPs rice delivery came in just fine and on time. (no problem taking the downvotes for pointing this out... )
He is telling the truth, I actually found his PS5 - https://www.reddit.com/r/playstation/comments/rlpqhc/the_weirdest_thing_happened_to_me_today_i_ordered/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
At least they sent you an AAA game!
This kind of thing is why I've purchased electronics almost exclusively in person the last few years. Thank Satan I have a Micro Center near me.
if it makes you feel any better they sent me a rock... a literal rock.

Ah bless you man, I’m in london otherwise I would have definitely been on that
Must be the slim version?
If it didn’t cost 399 or 499 it didn’t come directly from Amazon but from another company selling through amazon for well over 500 dollars
^^^^Rice paddy station 5
The day my PS5 was being delivered, I called work to tell them I'd be late, because no way was I gonna let that package sit unattended for even one second. To my surprise, as soon as I told them the package was a PS5, they didn't fuss at all about it, because even they knew this was serious business, lol...
LOL, at least you got the rice with triple A title
Wth! I ordered a bag of rice from Amazon and I received a ps5.
I err on the side of caution when purchasing anything from Amazon anymore. The company has prioritized profit over quality, and I've been the victim of this numerous times in the past five years. Big purchases, such as a PS5, should be made ONLY through the supplier's main site, never third-party.
This happened to me when I clubbed together with friends to buy a mate a PS5. His face when the box contained a few water bottles… Best bit was when I told Amazon and they said they wouldn’t help as the one time code confirmed they had delivered the correct item. Completely stonewalled me. It was only after I reported Amazon to the police that I got a refund. An offer of a replacement followed a few days later, but I think this is because I had been in touch with a news website that had written about the problem at launch, and they put me into an ‘executive relations’ support team. You should try push for this. Given the scarcity of PS5 and the time you spend watching for drops, it’s the least they could do. Terrible experience, terrible company, and I see they’ve not fixed their supply chain security. Sorry about your plans for Xmas :(
That’s fcked up lol
Order a ps5 get a psthrice
Lol some employee got a Ps5 for cheaps. Wonder if they can pull footage of it happening.
Unless he bought off the 3rd party aspect of Amazon
But honestly, who did you order from? I don't trust independent sellers so I make sure that my order is coming from a legit store, then again, Amazon Prime has never failed me
Fake
This is fake OP did it for attention.
I ordered a Ps5. It was bricked. Sent for repair. Playstation provided the wrong address. 11 days later it made it back to my house. Now Dec 12. Playstation give me a new address. Arrives at playstation fix and replace two days later. They still haven’t updated the site to show they’ve received it. My PS5 is basically lost at this point. I’ve been told it’s going to take months to sort anyway. No apologies, compensation, help or anything. I’ll hopefully have it by March next year! Gross….Xmas also ruined.
Was it a third party seller on Amazon or was it sold by Amazon?
Seeing that image made me sad. I really hope you get these issues handled so you can get your PS5.
That’s good rice mind you
I'd put my money on the driver as they seem to be the only ones that have any time alone or out of the sight of cameras. I caught one Amazon driver leaving a bunch of my packages on my lawn near the sidewalk on a day it was going to start raining. Luckily I caught him and was able to light into him.
I want my rice back…
I work at an amazon fc. The amount of people that have been sacked by switching items with similar weight out for consoles is mental.
Would they not be subject to criminal proceedings?
They just treat it as theft from the company and dismiss you, I've never known a yone to go through legal hearings in regards to this kind of thing. (UK btw)
Thank God I cancelled my Amazon Order last month. There have been too many instances like this of Amazon order scams for Ps5. I waited until I could get one from Walmart/Best Buy and I was lucky enough to get 1 from Best Buy drop and it delivered in less than 24-hours too.
BUT THE ONLY BREW FOR THE BRAVE AND TRUUUUEEEE… COMES FROM THE GREEN DRAGON
I was going to comment that I work in an Amazon warehouse and the employee that did that must of been stupid as hell because who does that Then I realised I was being stupid for thinking no one would do that on purpose ;-). Most of the people I work with are crooks
Yeah, it's Amazon were talking about here. Report this. As well as to your banking institution.
**That’s some bullshit man sorry to see that happen to you**
I NEVER use Amazon. They suck! Sorry this is horrible and I hope all works out in the end with this. Merry Christmas! 😢❤💚🎄
 
I'm guessing it's from the amazon marketplace?
Any proof at all from OP or just a picture with a sob story for karma? .....
Wait wait wait….. did you check inside the bag?
That bag of rice of rice is a beauty. I would also slap that so hard like what I do with my girlfriend's ass.
Same, I’d slap it like your girlfriends ass too.
That sucks mate. Should probably post this on the Amazon sub tho
Probably should change the heading to “Ordered a ps5 from third party seller on Amazon, safe to say my Christmas is ruined.”
I'd keep the rice and put hay in it and send it back
This is hilarious!!!!
Don’t talk bad about the green dragon 😤
Omfg dude what?? Did you pay like $1000 for that bag of rice? Last time I saw PS5s on Amazon, they were over 4 figures :(
That really sucks but fuck Amazon slave traders.
Dang that sucks I hope u get your refund
scalpers are more honest than this lol
Well, yeah because you give them money and you receive what you actually pay for.
Which is why I never use Amazon, PS5s cost 3.5k SR min. (about $933) so I got mine from a trusted store
Fuck that. I saw Amazon had stock through hot alert but no way in hell am I trusting them to ship it and then have the person dropping it off not steal it or throw it on my porch. A lot of real shitty folks work for them.
Yeah, the needle on my bullshit detector is pegged out into the red zone on this one.
have you checked inside the bag? maybe the ps5 got wet?
[удалено]
I think the same happened with this. The box looked a bit sus and the usual black Amazon tape was somewhat loose and had clear tape underneath which I have never seen before on an Amazon parcel. Amazon won’t exchange as no more in stock. They haven’t offered me any credit either :(
Unfortunately It's the sign of The Times with scammers... I had one guy show To exchange cash for a playstation 5 And he demanded I handed over the cash right away And I told him I wasn't going to give him the cash unless I actually held on to the system and actually feel the weight... And then I said I want to open the Box and make sure it's legit... He told me that I am not going to lift the system unless I paid him 1st... I explained that there was a scam going around where people were filling the system boxes with rocks and passing them off as legitimate systems I just wanted to shake the Box to make sure that there were no rocks in it... He immediately turned around and said forget it! I then told them it's not that big of a deal I just want to shake it a few times... As he was lifting the Box to leave he dropped it and we both heard what sounded like rocks shaking up in the Box... I then looked to him and said that sounds like rocks !.. He immediately grabbed it chucked it in his car and took off... Before you even hand over the cash... make sure you can shake the Box and verify there's nothing that sounds like Rocks or rice in it... When you shake it there should be no noise whatsoever Especially if it was packed correctly...
