    I needed a new suspension for my skull bucket so I went to Amazon.

    I contacted Amazon and said that another complete hat was sent with the label saying it was a replacement suspension. The reply was "just keep it".
    But I still wanted my other hat repaired. So off to Amazon I go.

    Try and explain the error saying that the label is WRONG!

    Can you not strip the stuff you need from one of them?

    Does that apply to metal hats? I was led to believe that only helmets with molded in dates had to be replaced. No dates on skull buckets.

    I don't like those new hard hats that sit way up on your head. I had to buy one for a job about ten years ago and felt like a carnival show. It sat something like three inches my head extra compared to our logging hard hats. I tossed it in the trash and grabbed my original one when I got home. I don't know why they are so goofy looking now.

    I think it got wet. If it eats after midnight, that's when it gets nasty...

    My folks were recently sent a 500$ e-scooter from Amazon that was most definitely not ordered by them. When they contacted Amazon they said just keep it. Seems like some sort of scam to me…

    We recently ordered some stuff from A as well. Ordered a bright pink and bright green dry bag for kayaking. Last weekend, the pink bag and green bag showed up, along with a teal bag. Thursday, another green bag showed up. I check my orders and confirmed I only ordered the 2, charges seem to align. As long as I don't get charged, I'm probably not even going to contact amazon. I've done that before for similar, and was told the same as yall have stated...."just keep it".

    It’s not a scam but there is false advertising, what happens is a company will hire someone to give them 5 star reviews but the amazon system requires a review be associated with a purchase. So the marketing company has their employees buy 100’s of scooters and ship to random people then write a review for the company.

    The size of Amazon is somewhat mind boggling. If you think about it, it’s cheaper to just write off certain items vs. them paying to have it shipped back, restocked, etc. I’ve had it happen a few times with items that were damaged during shipping. They told me to keep the old one, donate it or responsibly recycle it while sending me a replacement.

    I've heard of people getting shipped stuff they didn't order so the seller can give themselves a good review in the name of the person that received the item, may be the problem?
