Ordered a Holosun 509T GR x2 from Amazon - received and empty box.

Probably a return. Sometimes they come back and just end up right back in inventory. A lot harder for this to happen at your smaller shops. I have given up using amazon unless its the only place I can find it.

You already have the curling iron and deodorant... I mean, you're safe here...

A few years ago I ordered some fragrance oils from a company in Kuwait.
The shipping envelope arrived empty with one end cut open.
The driver searched the van (last stop of the day), but no oil vials.
I asked the driver for advice. She said I should refuse delivery and contact the vendor.
After about a month of the vendor checking with shipper, they finally sent my replacement oils.
The oils smelled great, and prices were good, but after that fiasco I just couldn't order anything else from them.
My guess is that it was a customs employee grab (not vendors fault).

Nice that they looked for them, but alas to no oil vial.

Never had that happen. I did have an instance once where I ordered a couple of McDonalds hamburgers at the drive thru. After I left and headed down the road, I opened the wrapper on one of the hamburgers and took a bite only to discover there was no hamburger patty in between the two buns.

Damn you Hamburgler!

My favorite McDs drive through moment was this: I ordered a large sprite with my food. All sizes cost a dollar, so no big deal. Girl tries to hand me a medium sprite.
"No, I ordered a large."

She closed the window and reappeared 5 seconds later with a large cup and handed it to me.
I get down the road and take a sip. COMPLETELY flat. Not a bit of fizz. Then I look inside. its only 3/4 full.

The lazy b*** just dumped my medium into a large cup and put a lid on it. She didnt pour me a new one from the fountain like she was supposed to. I was more shocked than angry. And I was far enough away it wasnt worth going back for.

Bet if she was getting $15 per hour she wouldn't have been so lazy.

Back in the mid 90's, a friend went to a concert.
After the concert, they stopped at McDonald's and he ordered two cheeseburgers with just cheese.
They got back on the road, and when he opened his burgers, they had... just cheese. They didn't put a burger patty in the bun, just the cheese.

Ha. Did they actually think he ordered a cheeseburger hold the burger patty? What a dope.

Why? Is the iron too ugly to look at? And how do you get a wig to stay on a curling iron?

When I worked construction we had a kid fresh out of school, he was a good kid just peculiar, we’d go to McDonald’s for lunch and he’d order a cheeseburger with no cheese

On a related note I think I found the best ever Amazon driver. Its 8pm and I'm sitting at home.
My phone rings.
Its a Seattle number.
I have not offices, family, nor vendors even in the state.
But its a work cell so I gotta answer all calls. *sigh* Here goes.

After a long pause... "Hi. This is your Amazon driver" (yeah right) "Im calling about a delivery for you." (suuuuure you are buddy... get to the scam.) "Its raining pretty hard right now..." (whoa. Wait, what? Yes it is!) "So do you still want me to put this [where I tell them to stash packages so they cant be seen from the street]? I dont want it to get ruined. "

"Oh, hey. Yeah. I'm Home." *presses garage door button* (I was working in the garage)
"Well look at that. There you are!"
"I'll be right out to get it from you."
And I made sure to double time it to get it from him before he had to get out of the truck and get wet AGAIN for the umpteenth time tonight.

Good kid. Wish there was a way to report his stellar performance to his supervisor and know for a fact that it wouldnt get lost in the machine. Most drivers even in this weather ignore the instructions and just throw it barely onto the front porch exposed to the weather (and porch pirates), and dont even try to get it up against the house where the eaves might shield it a bit.

Saw this recently, however I can't find anywhere in the Amazon app itself where you are supposed to be able to submit review/thank you. Sounds like it may only be an Alexa feature.

How to tell Amazon to tip your delivery driver $5

Amazon announced the roll-out of a feature on their Alexa-enabled devices which will allow consumers to send a 'thank-you' to their delivery driver.
