Beautifully packaged bricks for $ 2164 instead of ... MacBook Pro

It seems that the crisis has affected the large American networks of electronics stores, but not in the sense in which you thought. No, their sales have not fallen to a critical level, they have a different kind of crisis. At various American sites began to appear messages that buyers, coming home, increasingly began to find in boxes instead of electronics bricks and stones! First, there was a message about a teenager who, instead of Nintendo DS, received a couple of stones wrapped in Chinese newspapers instead of Nintendo DS. After some altercations, one of the Wal-Mart stores still behaved correctly and returned the money ($ 138), and also presented a $ 20 card as compensation.

But the Best Buy client in a similar case did not wait for compensation.

Someone Ryan from Texas bought a brick on Best Buy instead of a MacBook Pro. Arriving home and unpacking the package, he found a regular building stone of red color.

The buyer immediately returned to the store and found the manager. However, she did not want to go into the details of the incident and advised to solve the problem with the manufacturer.



In the end, Ryan paid $ 2,164 for a new package (and, of course, brick). It is strange that he did not even guess to look at his purchase directly in the store.



However, attempts to deceive retailers by customers are not uncommon. And vice versa. As a knowledgeable commentator on the Consumerist website reported, there are packaging machines in the Best Buy back rooms, so theoretically nothing prevents store employees from packing goods as many times as necessary. And, for example, put a brick instead of the MacBook Pro.
