I had something strange happen to me today. I received an order from one of the online shopping sites, Shopee. The price was P1375, but I've learned to check my product paying for it. In about 14 years of shopping with them and Lazada (the other online shopping site) and this is only the 3rd time that I've had a problem. I ordered a bottle of perfume for my wife (100ml of White Diamond). What I got was a small black rock. I kid you not, a rock. Photo: Pixabay - Artist: tumisu Howdy y’all. It’s me, ninong7 aka UJ aka John. Just a short intro about myself. I am a Texan that has retired in the Philippines. I moved to the Philippines with my wife back in May 2010. I am retired from the US Air Force. The music I like is mostly Classic Country and Classic Rock. I guess you could say that I am “Classic”. I play dominoes when I can find someone that will play, I play chess, cribbage, spades, hearts, Empire Builder, Rail Baron, Acquire and a few other games. I like to write poems and stories (although pretty novice) and I love learning about history, just about any history. I’m at home on my computer a lot but if I could afford to, I’d be traveling and documenting my travels to post in my blog. I hope to get to know a lot of you through PeakD and Discord.
Of course, I refused delivery and told them to take it back. The delivery driver was unsure of what to do. I told him just bring it back and tell them what happened. He's going to bring it back to his supervisor, get a ruling and let me know.
I told them that I was going to send a nasty gram to the company that sent it. Not to Shopee, because they get their products from another company and send them out. I'm guessing that when Shopee picked it up, it was already wrapped because it did have an extra layer of wrap on it than usual. The delivery guy asked me not to send the nasty gram until he talked to his supervisor. I agreed because I don't want anyone on this end to get into any trouble.
My one mistake was that I opened the package out of sight of the delivery guy. I'm hoping that will not be a problem. I'm a very honest man, even though they don't know me, I even tell cashiers when they give me too much change. Even so, from now on I will open all packages in front of the driver, before I pay him.
Right now, I'm waiting to see what the driver's supervisor says before finishing this post.
They never got back to me, but I see online that they are returning it because it could not be delivered. I'm cool with that. They didn't get any money out of me yet.
