Amazon business roflcopter

several months ago I broke the lcd on my new laptop.

i called sony and they wanted 500$ to replace it

i looked online and it was 200$ for the screen....

so i pulled a screen out of an old laptop (about 8 years old) and placed it one my new one.  wasnt able to close my laptop but hey, it was runnin' fine.

eventually saved up some money and started screen shopping.  with more info i accumulated i found a sweet deal: 88$ on Amazon for a brand new screen.  Ordered it and about a week later it showed up at my house.

the problem is that it brought a friend with him.  when i received the box there was another box with it.  I just figured Amanda had ordered something too, so whatever.  I installed the screen and it looks amazing.

later i gave the box to Amanda and she told me it wasn't hers.  It had our address  and phone number but had G. M. Smith as the intended receiver.  So I kindly wrote an email to the company, after leaving positive feedback for the lcd screen, that they had accidentally sent me an additional package.

they responded

"Thank you very much your reply.

I am really very sorry to you for the troubles you have suffered and I do give my deeply apology to you.

We will contact UPS, maybe they make a mistake.

we will reply you on monday, and ship the panel to you ASAP.

Sorry again.

 best regards!"


I asked them to re-read the message i sent them, and informed them i received the lcd screen already.  They then asked me to take the package to ups and ship it to them and they will send me money on amazon.  
I asked them to send a prepaid shipping label .
they said it takes to long, they 'sent me 8$ on amazon' if thats not enough to cover the shipping they want a receipt and then they will give me the rest.


I explained to them, first off, i did an calculate shipping on ups and the cheapest option was 13$, second I cant pay for the shipping with the amazon money, right?


I got in touch with my brother, Abe, who works at ups.Abe confirmed that the seller is able to make shipping labels, email them, or pay for direct pick up from my home.


I received an email from the seller saying he didnt have any prepaid labels to send me, and that it takes a long time to make them.  and for me to check if its cheaper to send fedex


In addition to wasting my time writing this guy emails, i took pictures of the items sent, shipping info, and packaging, all to help him out.

I finally put my foot down and said, 'if you want your packages send me a prepaid shipping label, or pay for ups to pick it up from my house.  if you have any more questions, feel free to contact ups'


I felt like this guy was constantly testing the limits of how much advantage he could take of me once he realized i was nice.  He continually ignored what i was saying.  Why are there people like this?  it seems like the philosophy is 'if you're nice to me ill treat you like crap, if you treat me like crap i'll be nice to you'


idiocy at its finest
