Especially in these days post pandemic, or almost post, we have turned more and more to online shopping.
Pick it.
Buy it.
Have it delivered.

But then sometimes you run into something that makes you scratch your head in wonder?

Please share if you have. Here's my latest.

I dropped into Amazon the other day and saw a great deal on a small air fryer.
Cool.
Great price.
Lots of great reviews (not just on Amazon).
Click and it was on its way.

Now for the head scratcher,
Opened the box and there was no instruction manual. But there was a link. The web page was in Chinese. Out comes translate.
Next in the box item; warranty card w/ instructions.
Open the warranty instructions. The cover is in English - Company name and "Warranty Card". But the inside ...
Just what you see below, nothing else. Except a cookbook written in English with great pics.
Keep in mind I live in California.

Next step: try to translate this. :oops:
 
I ordered a pair of Dickies shorts last week and what was delivered was a package full of Happy Meal toys. The eBay seller had a 100% approval rating so my only guess what that labels got switched.

I sent them back and got a refund. I was hoping the seller could get the shorts back from whomever it was sent to, but no. Right now that pair of shorts is on a slow boat to Hong Kong.

It turned out okay though because my local Walmart had one single pair of those shorts just sitting there waiting.

But yeah…order shorts, get Happy Meal toys. :rolleyes:
