Last week, I got an email from Buy.com with a bunch of sale items. I’m always drawn to the stuff that’s under $20, just because I don’t feel bad picking one up on a whim. So – I see this:
an iPhone/iPod car charger for $6.99. Not a bad price. What the heck? I’ve run out of juice in the car before. So I order it. Being the cheap frugal chap that I am, I always opt for free shipping if it’s not one of my “wonder toys”, so I expect it to take close to two weeks to get here. I had ordered a few things last week, so when one of them showed up on the doorstep today, I wasn’t sure which item had arrived. The box was pretty light, but was long.
Hmmm…
I looked at the shipping label and it appeared to be my charger. I open the box and find:
the biggest honkin’ remote known to man… The picture above doesn’t do this thing justice… When I get a chance, I’ll pose with the bad boy and you can see…
Anyway – I’d like to thank Buy.com for giving me a good laugh this afternoon. Now I’m off to request an RMA to send this thing back and get my charger!!
