My Facebook has been flooded with ads to purchase a pallet of returned Amazon goods for $29 over the last couple of weeks. The come on is that all these new in the box of electronics have been returned to Amazon and rather than go through the hassle of putting them into the system, it would just be cheaper to sell them to you. If you sign up and pay the $29 bucks we'll send this pallet of goods to you. That has to be too good to be true, right? This was the mistake I alluded to earlier.
Guess what? It was totally a mistake. Oh, you knew that already.
Did you know that you can get a bigger pallet for $89? And did you know that if you buy the bigger pallet (Guaranteed to be worth at least $1300) they will double the order and give you two pallets? How could you go wrong? Easily. Very easily.
I took one for the team. I bought the upgraded package and desperately watched the tracking information to see when my pallets would arrive. Oddly, they pallets seemed to be coming from China. But they had shipped. For a long time, they pallets sat in Las Vegas waiting for the USPS to pick them up. But finally I got the notification the pallets were in my mailbox. I'm sure they meant the slip to go to the post office to get my swag was in the mailbox. Rather than walk down to the mailbox, I drove the car full expecting to see the brown note about "An Attempt to deliver" Two pallets would be much too big to bring to the house.
In the box, I found a rather small box. Whomp. Whomp. The box contained three items. Two of the items looked like Apple Products. The third was a multifunction connector to charge electronics. One of the faux apple boxes said Watch 8 and had a picture of the Apple Ultra Watch. The other showed Apple Air Pods Pro. I could use some Apple AirPods Pro.
Yeah. Not so much. They were apple knock-offs. I'm currently trying to charge them but that doesn't seem to be working. The usual lights aren't coming on. The Faux Watch won't even really attach to the MagSafe connector.
Alas. I've been duped. I'm out $90. But I have a cautionary tale.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
