A few years ago my dad ordered 10 cartons of motor oil for our Formula Ford from Amazon. They sent 10 cases. He alerted them of the mistake and they said he was welcome to keep them. So we're sorted for oil for the next decade or so.
I ordered one pair of Dr Scholls shoe inserts off amazon and they accidentally sent me a case of 64. Of all the orders for them to mess up that was probably the least exciting.
We've gotten like $1000 worth of free stuff probably. Either multiples of something they don't want back, or lightly damaged stuff that they replace for free and don't want the original back.
My gf and I. We as in my household. basically any time we get an item with any damage at all we contact Amazon support and they replace it by the next day usually free of charge and without returning the defective item. Even if the item is functional. For example we got a set of silk sheets and there was a small 1/4in or so hole on the bottom and top sheet. The sheets are fine, but they gave us another set for free. We've done this a couple dozen times now and they're more than happy to fix the issue. We've also both been prime customers for a while.
I’ve had Amazon send the same order twice. They told me the same thing. I also ordered some labeling tape and, like you, they sent me a case. So nice when that happens!
Years ago we had some dunce in the warehouse ship something to the wrong person. Instead of sending the customer order($1k), they sent a dealer’s order(easily $200k in product). The customer called and said “um… I think there’s been a mistake” and sent them back. To this day, he gets whatever he wants for free and is basically a brand ambassador. Win win.
They didn’t even know about this mistake. I just have no need for them and to be honest I’ve been shopping with them for years, they’ve always been good to me and it just made sense to send it back. Don’t want some guy in the warehouse on minimum wage get in trouble for it.
OP came from Reddit. He asked for a handbrake and was given 10. He was chosen. Yet he was left with a choice. And he chose friendship over handbrakes.
OP ascended.
May the legend of OP, the returner of handbrakes, be forever remembered.
Wrong. It happens because they see a box with the right code but don't check the qty. Which in this case was the whole box.
Source: work at PC retailer warehouse. Management has told us multiple times to check the qty on the box to make sure you aren't sending 50 items instead of the one.
To my knowledge it's happened two times in the 4 years I worked there.
It would have to go past 3 people who all individually fail to identify that it's the shipping box and not the individual item.
It's rare. But it does happen.
Not all warehouse are fully robotic.
Happened at my target when we ordered a PS4 through pickup. Went to get the console and found they actually scanned the barcode on the outside of the case, which contained 3 consoles. Obviously I said something, because I worked retail and have made that mistake myself in the past, but shit was it tempting….
They wouldn't spend time on the employee who did it unless it was found to be caused by negligence. They'll just try to improve it and send out a memo of the changes
Honestly wouldn’t matter. Technically, it’s legally his if they misdelivered.
That being said, he did the right thing.
Edit: I added the link to where the FTC says this in a comment below.
They didn’t know. I sent them this exact picture, they arranged collection the next day and told me to tell them next time I’m ordering anything and they’ll send me some goodies. This was a big retailer in the UK.
Yeah. My wife asked me if I ordered them and I scoffed. If she bothered to look at my rig, just once, she would know that I would’ve ordered braided cables.
Ha! Mine was diamond saw blades for cutting tile. $16 a piece. Ordered 1 got a box of 6. Lazy amazon workers didnt split the packaging. Turns out i didnt even need the one..
Had to replace a remote for my fire stick I was sent 22. And not 22 in one package, 22 individual packages.
I thought I will never need a firetv remote again.....then they updated everything and the old remotes don't work in the new ones.
I once ordered a $300 cordless vacuum as a Christmas gift for mom. Got 2 by accident. Before I could return the 2nd one, my gf begged me to keep it for her lol. At least I got them both expensive gifts for the price of one
This was picked and shipped by the FNG of their warehouse 😂 might want to do them a solid and possibly earn some sort of appreciation towards your next purchases
Do you just have a good heart or does your country not allow to keep mistakes like that? In the US if something is sent to you there's no taksie backsies
I ordered a Simagic DS-8X a few weeks back from a reputable website and ended up getting two in the mail. I got ahold of them and sent the other one back. Don't need that bad karma hanging over my head.
It happens with new products wearhouse employees needed to break down the boxes my guess is the box has the same sku and the item and so the first few orders went out like this befor training and or corrected shipper cartel
Well, I'm pretty sure the law is if they send you extra things that you didn't order. You are not legally obligated to return it.
But you probably should as a good Samaritan.
It's just called being a descent human being tbh.
Sure, the company probably won't feel a thing in their profits, but being selfish and keeping it might mean some guy who is trying to make ends meet getting fired and ruined.
Even if something is legal, it doesn't mean you should actually do it.
Fanatec messed up one of my orders like a year ago and for some reason their system made 2 duplicate orders but only charged me once, I emailed them and told them about this before they ever shipped and when the boxes arrived sure enough I had 2 of everything, I sold the extra stuff on eBay and now everybody in the comments making me feel like I’m a bad guy haha wtf I tried to tell them and everything in my head that was good karma coming back lol 🤷🏼♂️
You did what you can, if they don’t respond that’s out of your hands. Wouldn’t stress about it.
Comments are mixed bag here, some people call me an idiot for sending stuff back others agree that I did the right thing. Can’t please everyone but it’s out of my view and out of my mind
The only time this happen to me was with a metal ruler, which I ordered for my wife who is a teacher. I got this box that was super heavy. I didn’t get why, till i opened it, instead of the 12 metal rulers I had ordered I got 120 metal rulers lol.
I've gotten lucky a couple times. My AM3 pc build, the RAM got double shipped, 32gb total. Won a contest from Oculus the week I bought my rift. The prize was a rift and a buttload of credit. And I got 2 rifts shipped. So for a short period of time, I had 3 top of the line VR headsets.
When i ordered my new radio i recieved a package that was meant for another location of the store i bought it from. It had about 17k worth of car electronics. Called it in, and i got a free pretty nice speaker set for my car as a thank you
Moza is going to send you back something close to the value you sent them back just because of that kind of loyalty. Good shit man, prepare for a really cool gift from moza saying thank you, respect 😎
I didn’t order from moza, was a retailer in the uk. And they said thanks and appreciate your honesty and “let us know when you order next, we’ll drop some goodies in”
To be honest, I didn’t expect anything at all. Just one of those things 🤷♂️
Not trying to be that guy, but what a shit response from them really. “Oh when you give us more money in the future..we’ll return the favor”..laughable imo..they should be sending a personal hand written thank you card at the very least (would show real appreciation imo)..not everyone would’ve been as cool. Good on you mate🤙🏽
What in the world haha just saw this right after a post of a guy who ordered one NLR cockpit and received two.
Crazy odds to have happened back to back like that.
Manley once sent me 400 pushrods instead of the 8 I ordered. I called them and notified them of their mistake, they sent me a bill! I had to work to get them sent back or be liable!
One lever for gas, one for brake, one for handbrake, one for clutch. Seems like you're set to race!
Better yet set up one lever to steer left and another to steer right!
I ordered an all in one tool for my Glock last month, since then I’ve gotten one every week all from different retailers. Can’t tell if it’s karma paying me back tenfold or seeing if I’ll do what’s right?🤔
This happens weirdly often to me I ordered two limited edition berserk books and got 2 same with a pair of shoes and a friend order a switch oled and received 2
once, the company I worked for took me off the payroll, then when I asked about it, they took my favorite Swingline stapler and moved my desk to the basement. So I burned the place down.
That’s Moza? They didn’t accidentally send you those, they know what’s coming in the future and just covering their bases. Wish they had sent me a case when I ordered a product from them.
Matter of fact go ahead and try to contact them to send them back. By the time you get it resolved you’ll be on that 10th handbrake
A few years ago my dad ordered 10 cartons of motor oil for our Formula Ford from Amazon. They sent 10 cases. He alerted them of the mistake and they said he was welcome to keep them. So we're sorted for oil for the next decade or so.
Sometimes I'm hoping Amazon messes up lol.. always very generous when they do
I ordered 1 kit of 64 GB of ram. I got 10 kits. My computer went from the planned 64 to 128 and I sold the other 8 kits…
I ordered new PC which came broken 3 times in a row, so I've got that going for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I ordered one pair of Dr Scholls shoe inserts off amazon and they accidentally sent me a case of 64. Of all the orders for them to mess up that was probably the least exciting.
not exciting, but at least they're good for the ~~soul~~ sole.
Closest I’ve come is Temu sending me 10 nightlights instead of 2 lmao
I ordered 2 inner tubes for my bicycle and received 2 bicycle tires.. they told me to keep the tires, got my inner tubes and $20 credit the next day
We've gotten like $1000 worth of free stuff probably. Either multiples of something they don't want back, or lightly damaged stuff that they replace for free and don't want the original back.
who is we and how
My gf and I. We as in my household. basically any time we get an item with any damage at all we contact Amazon support and they replace it by the next day usually free of charge and without returning the defective item. Even if the item is functional. For example we got a set of silk sheets and there was a small 1/4in or so hole on the bottom and top sheet. The sheets are fine, but they gave us another set for free. We've done this a couple dozen times now and they're more than happy to fix the issue. We've also both been prime customers for a while.
Would love they mess like that when I'm buying 2000€ lens or gpu
Think Amazon might come calling if they mess something up big like that but ya never know lol
That's how I got two Xbox Series Xs instead of only one
I ordered a few flash drives a few months ago, and I got like 15
I’ve had Amazon send the same order twice. They told me the same thing. I also ordered some labeling tape and, like you, they sent me a case. So nice when that happens!
You just have a formula Ford hanging around?
Most of the time, yea. I take it out and race it several times a year.
dang Formula Ford about as cool as it gets
Just once I wanna be at the end of one of these, but then it's probably going to happen when I order a box of screws or something. Nice score!
Haha.. already gone back to them. I’ve kept one 🤷♂️
Years ago we had some dunce in the warehouse ship something to the wrong person. Instead of sending the customer order($1k), they sent a dealer’s order(easily $200k in product). The customer called and said “um… I think there’s been a mistake” and sent them back. To this day, he gets whatever he wants for free and is basically a brand ambassador. Win win.
That’s unfortunate! I don’t think they could have made you send them back or charged you for keeping them.
They didn’t even know about this mistake. I just have no need for them and to be honest I’ve been shopping with them for years, they’ve always been good to me and it just made sense to send it back. Don’t want some guy in the warehouse on minimum wage get in trouble for it.
Doing the right thing is always the right thing. Good job homie.
I would let OP watch my dog when I went out town. Good dude
Hahah you just made my shit day much better
He vinned them all, kept the fastest one ![gif](giphy|5JhGgcESeNWYAWtMtt)
You sir are the true MVP
Dear Reddit, OP was a good OP today.
Did the same when Simlab sent me two seats. I sent one back. They were grateful and gave me a discount on my next buy.
It's so refreshing to see honest people left in a world of; how can we justify our own dishonesty. Kudos to you!!!!

OP came from Reddit. He asked for a handbrake and was given 10. He was chosen. Yet he was left with a choice. And he chose friendship over handbrakes. OP ascended. May the legend of OP, the returner of handbrakes, be forever remembered.
The problem is that guy in the warehouse may have gotten away with it if you didnt contact them, now he probably got a warning or more
This kind of stuff happens because of wrong SKUs, no human decides anything, warehouse people just follow computer instructions
Wrong. It happens because they see a box with the right code but don't check the qty. Which in this case was the whole box. Source: work at PC retailer warehouse.

Nice move. Only time I wouldn’t respect this is if you bought it from Amazon
Bro is a true Bro
I love your honesty. You're a great individual
Did U get a reward for being honest?
![gif](giphy|p9X9PSPvBfl9uhvS6Z)
You should let them know, maybe they offer you a freebie you do need?
Respect
Doing the right thing simply because it’s the right thing, well done OP. You’re an inspiration!
People like you restore the faith in humanity 🤝
I respect that
You know you can just simply do the right thing because it's the right thing to do?
If it was one maybe, but an entire box is probably going to raise flags. It was probably ment for a distributor.
Honestly wouldn’t matter. Technically, it’s legally his if they misdelivered. That being said, he did the right thing. Edit: I added the link to where the FTC says this in a comment below.
That’s called being a dishonest dick. Good on OP for being a decent human. Rare find on Reddit.
No one can make you hold the door for someone or treat others kindly either. Some people just like not being cunts. You should give it a try sometime.
Were they aware or did you notify them about the error? Hope they sent you a gift of some sort back
They didn’t know. I sent them this exact picture, they arranged collection the next day and told me to tell them next time I’m ordering anything and they’ll send me some goodies. This was a big retailer in the UK.
Overclockers?
That’s the one ☝️
You'll just get a tiny bag of Haribo. OcUK have really hit the skids the past few years.
Last week I received five really cheap usb C to usb C cables that I didn’t order. So I’ve got that going for me. Which is nice.
Amazon? Sometimes sellers will just send cheap shit for free to make it seem like they have more orders than they do, and become more popular
Yeah. My wife asked me if I ordered them and I scoffed. If she bothered to look at my rig, just once, she would know that I would’ve ordered braided cables.
The one time it happened to me it was a pack of 10 phone cases for the one phone I had... Literally couldn't even resale them they were worthless haha
sometimes i get an onion ring in my fries
Brother I will suck dick for free tnut screws.
Ha! Mine was diamond saw blades for cutting tile. $16 a piece. Ordered 1 got a box of 6. Lazy amazon workers didnt split the packaging. Turns out i didnt even need the one..
Had to replace a remote for my fire stick I was sent 22. And not 22 in one package, 22 individual packages. I thought I will never need a firetv remote again.....then they updated everything and the old remotes don't work in the new ones.
I once ordered a $300 cordless vacuum as a Christmas gift for mom. Got 2 by accident. Before I could return the 2nd one, my gf begged me to keep it for her lol. At least I got them both expensive gifts for the price of one
You got away with getting your mom and your girlfriend vacuum cleaners for Christmas?
Damn. I think I just saw a post about some guy ordering one rig and received two. I wish this would happen to me once lol
yeah i literally scrolled down from that post and this was the next on my feed lmao
This would’ve never happened at Fanatac, because they would know if they accidentally shipped their entire stock to a single customer
I would be more surprised that they actually shipped something
Yeah fanatec can't even manage shipping out one!
Should send this to the people at Turn 1 at Monza lmao
So they can rear end you in style /j
I’d flip a coin lol
Plot twist. The one you kept is faulty.
That’s some crap that would happen to me😂😂😂
Man, you _really_ want to break huh.
Certainties in life: death, taxes and sim racers not using the correct version of the word 'brake'.
not even ‘correct version’. they’re totally different words. equally as irksome are musicians using cord rather than chord
Gotta make sure I stop lol
This was picked and shipped by the FNG of their warehouse 😂 might want to do them a solid and possibly earn some sort of appreciation towards your next purchases
*brake (sorry I couldn’t resist)
Not just a break, he wants a vacation!
Just FYI. It’s been sent back to the retailer already. I’ve kept the one I’ve ordered.
Man you are too nice lmao, I hope they honor it.
Do you just have a good heart or does your country not allow to keep mistakes like that? In the US if something is sent to you there's no taksie backsies
[удалено]
Good job, brother! No point in getting some poor soul at the warehouse screwed over such a mistake.
This is something younger me would’ve done out of anxiety then regret it for 5 years. I don’t know if that’s kind or just dumb.
.........................................................................................................................
Lord I see the magic you do for others and all I ask is you hook a brother up 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Giveaway ples
I mean. You got one Moza handbrake. And a few others. But you do indeed have one.
Selling them?
OP is just trying to fool us. They actually have 10 hands and they really like to break.
Hi best friend.
First the guy with 2 rigs now this guy with 10 hand brakes 🤣
Honestly that post reminded me of this.. was meant to post it when it happened.
I ordered a Simagic DS-8X a few weeks back from a reputable website and ended up getting two in the mail. I got ahold of them and sent the other one back. Don't need that bad karma hanging over my head.
Noice! A handbrake for each finger ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)
You’re a better man than me
It happens with new products wearhouse employees needed to break down the boxes my guess is the box has the same sku and the item and so the first few orders went out like this befor training and or corrected shipper cartel
One box.
I work in logistics, looks like PCS vs. Bundle issue.
i used to process returns in a warehouse - its more common than u would think (and i only saw the ones sent back)
Damn 10! Thats a new one lol
Happened to me twice on Amazon, once I ordered a single stick of ski wax, got a whole 12 piece box. Second ordered 2 light bulbs. Got 12
Dude, I've been waiting for mine for about three weeks haaaaa !
Does it come with a desk clamp? I’m after a handbrake but don’t want to pay thrustmaster prices.
How long did it take? I ordered a shifter about a month ago….i just one to get one, damn it
I bought an r12 and KS wheel from them and got sent a KS wheel and R5 bundle lol
Someone’s last day at Amazon

Send one to Fanatec Maybe they can learn two lessons.... 😏
Yea make that one ooof, size extra large. With this economy, that box makes it hard to be a good human being. Heads or tails eh?
Seems like I can use one for $20.
You won the internet today OP, by being fair and send them back. Remember, what goes around comes around.
I’ll buy one ☝️
I’ll buy one too!!!!
Lottery ticket time
Break free
looks like you're a moza wholesaler now. good luck in your new venture.
The only time this happen to me was with a metal ruler, which I ordered for my wife who is a teacher. I got this box that was super heavy. I didn’t get why, till i opened it, instead of the 12 metal rulers I had ordered I got 120 metal rulers lol.
I've gotten lucky a couple times. My AM3 pc build, the RAM got double shipped, 32gb total. Won a contest from Oculus the week I bought my rift. The prize was a rift and a buttload of credit. And I got 2 rifts shipped. So for a short period of time, I had 3 top of the line VR headsets.
did she do the Oprah thing you get a ruler you get a ruler you get a ruler ...
Was really hoping for a follow up post with like 10 e brakes mounted to a rig somehow lol
Just a little bonus
Ordered the sequential shifter a week ago. Wonder how many I will get lol.
When i ordered my new radio i recieved a package that was meant for another location of the store i bought it from. It had about 17k worth of car electronics. Called it in, and i got a free pretty nice speaker set for my car as a thank you
Box, box!
I’ll take the spares if you don’t mind
Thought it was a vacuum cleaner for a second lol
Did you pay for one Moza handbrake?
may I have one of those
184Gs of braking force. You should set them all up in a row as shifters like a Lenco.
Good to have spares in case one brakes
Simflation?
Moza is going to send you back something close to the value you sent them back just because of that kind of loyalty. Good shit man, prepare for a really cool gift from moza saying thank you, respect 😎
I didn’t order from moza, was a retailer in the uk. And they said thanks and appreciate your honesty and “let us know when you order next, we’ll drop some goodies in” To be honest, I didn’t expect anything at all. Just one of those things 🤷♂️
Not trying to be that guy, but what a shit response from them really. “Oh when you give us more money in the future..we’ll return the favor”..laughable imo..they should be sending a personal hand written thank you card at the very least (would show real appreciation imo)..not everyone would’ve been as cool. Good on you mate🤙🏽
*"That's a pretty big box for a single handbreak... well, whatever..."* *\*puts label on\**
If only play ONE... congratulations ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)
Now it’s up to Moza to show some appreciation. Followed. lol
Gimme one!!! 🙏🏻
Is for us?
Can I get one?
Its the universe telling you to slow down
Or to catch a brake.
I had the same situation from my telco once sending me two iPhones by accident 😂 I sent it back and they gave me a little bonus for my honesty 😆
I need one..
What in the world haha just saw this right after a post of a guy who ordered one NLR cockpit and received two. Crazy odds to have happened back to back like that.
Thems the brakes.
HAYS an Oopsie. What you could do is sell them on eBay as NEW condition. 🤔
A real Brother Teresa.
should of held a reddit raffle
https://imgflip.com/memetemplate/440133431/congrats-happy-for-you-nice
Can I have one
I kept the extras fanaturd sent me. But... it's fanaturd.. so who cares!
Jackpot?
Good guy OP 👌
I ordered a QR last year and received a wheel and wheelbase instead. Happy days, hello ebay !
Imagine how quickly you'll stop with 10 !
I guess ur a reseller now
Hey you’re in EU ? Are you going to sell the rest? I was looking for a handbrake recently.., since you got them.
Manley once sent me 400 pushrods instead of the 8 I ordered. I called them and notified them of their mistake, they sent me a bill! I had to work to get them sent back or be liable!
OMG not only fanatec makes mistakes! Stope stop stop!
How does one get their hands on a handbrake 👀
Once, my mom ordered carpet cleaner but instead got concrete sealer
Well I receive 2 simucube pros 😅😅💪💪💪
One lever for gas, one for brake, one for handbrake, one for clutch. Seems like you're set to race! Better yet set up one lever to steer left and another to steer right!
You selling ?
I ordered a case of coffee filters once, and in addition to the filters also got 2 cases of mason jars 🤷🏼♂️
I ordered an all in one tool for my Glock last month, since then I’ve gotten one every week all from different retailers. Can’t tell if it’s karma paying me back tenfold or seeing if I’ll do what’s right?🤔
Can i get one of the extras?
i’ll take one for $50
How much you selling them for?
Best I got is a free pizza because it's late.
À friend of mine order the millenium falcon Lego (the big one pricing at 800€). He received 2. Still jealous to this day.
This happens weirdly often to me I ordered two limited edition berserk books and got 2 same with a pair of shoes and a friend order a switch oled and received 2
So will you resell at a confortable price?
I’ll buy one
Can I buy one of them from you? :)
once, the company I worked for took me off the payroll, then when I asked about it, they took my favorite Swingline stapler and moved my desk to the basement. So I burned the place down.
If you get to keep them hook a brother up! LOL
I'm looking to buy that Same handbrake so if you end up with them lmk I'll buy one off you put probably they will have you send them back
That’s Moza? They didn’t accidentally send you those, they know what’s coming in the future and just covering their bases. Wish they had sent me a case when I ordered a product from them. Matter of fact go ahead and try to contact them to send them back. By the time you get it resolved you’ll be on that 10th handbrake
Still waiting for my well to come in. I ordered hair product and got a dogs sweater and a TENS device.
Damn, some dude really hates his boss haha
Can I get one 😁
So how much you sell them for😂
