Last week I got one of those 8" "rain" square shower heads and the week before that I got a grill cover. The grill cover smelled like someone died inside it when I opened it up but now that it aired out for a week on the patio it's great for a sun reflector (all shiny foil like lining). The shower head worked OK but I would have needed an extender tube because it was too big. No idea where this stuff is coming from. Definitely not being billed to my account and all legitimately sent from Amazon.
Very strange. I gave away the shower head and still have the grill cover and the crappy Airpods Pro clone if anyone wants them! They all seems to be selling in the $15 to $25 range when I look them up. There is nothing requesting a review so I just don't understand where these come from or what the purpose is.
Anyone else getting freebies from Amazon 3rd party sellers on a "regular" basis? |
I was too for quite awhile. I realized these people were thinking that they were returning items to Amazon for a refund but the third party seller was using my name and address with an apt #. When I noticed the apt #, I began refusing them from USPS and UPS. The UPS driver would look at the package and realize it had an apt # and would not even drop it off…just wrote refused. I contacted Amazon and eventually it stopped. The items ranged from bandanas to pool filters…the third party sellers were all scammers.
