A lot of companies have been making returns and exchanges more cumbersome. And it’s mostly because of PEOPLE LIKE THIS:
A few weeks ago, a man named John Stockwell on TikTok claimed he’s been repeatedly ordering 110-pound cast iron ANVILS on Amazon for the past six months, only to immediately return them.
The anvils cost more than $225 each, but with his Prime account, John has them shipped to him AND shipped back for FREE, so they cover those costs.
He shows his Amazon order page, and scrolls down to show 10 anvil orders. Those only covered a couple weeks. It’s unclear how many he’s ordered in the six-month timeframe.
He says, “And I’m going to keep doing [this], until somebody does something about it.” (Here’s video.)
Some commenters have been criticizing him, calling him a bad person chastising him for wasting people’s time and effort, including his delivery man, and even saying he’s costing the business that sells the anvils money.
John just laughs at them.
In one video, he even welcomed haters to come by HIS HOUSE to talk to him about it, but it wasn’t his address. It was Barack Obama’s. (???)
John also talked about how the media reached out to him, but he just jokes around with them. Like, they asked what the anvils are for, and he said, “dropping on roadrunners.” And they asked what his goal was, and he said he “hasn’t really thought about it.”
(This guy is definitely trying to be funny, and he’s got stand-up clips of himself on his feed.)
(It’s unclear if Amazon pays for that shipping, or the anvil seller. Or if ANYONE will tell him to knock it off. But either way, this kind of stupidity ultimately contributes to prices rising for ACTUAL consumers.)
@stocklettI hope you liked having those carbon tax credits
