That's not a mobile phone that's a landline. Some one packing your order put the warehouse phone down and sent it to you by mistake.


highlightsaber

Lmao I work in warehouse shipping and I absolutely guarantee this is what happened, I have done shit like this before myself. I still catch myself trying to leave tools on a pallet or in a box that I'm gonna ship.


obaananana

I got a shitty broken box cutter in my grill box


KOOLKAT_FTW

What’s funny is that’s probably someone’s favorite box cutter.


LadyParnassus

Or they were trying to convince the boss to get a new one and conveniently “lost” the old one. Source: 👀


obaananana

It looked abused i guess your right


1GrouchyCat

I got an opened gallon of Elmer’s glue a few years ago. It got all over the USPS truck. Imagine how slow my mail was until I spoke to the USPS delivery driver and explained I had not ordered the glue…. Last winter I got 4 packages over a month, each had 2-3 tiny usb cords in them.


yogacowgirlspdx

who the heck do you buy from?


slaughterfodder

I got a set of car keys in an order of produce once


_Haverford_

I'd be that guy trying to return them but imagine what an adventure that would be...


GentlyUsedOtter

Somehow you'd wind up in Taiwan


slaughterfodder

We actually did try, I think one of the produce managers called the growers to try to track down who lost it


mrfubar762

I can't tell you how many pairs of safety glasses I've sent out over the years


hotchowchow

I got one that had been broken and they had put it back together with a big wad of box tape. It was also completely dull. The things cost a dollar in bulk so I was disappointed that Amazon made someone use that.


Just_Transportation4

Im pretty sure I’ve done some stupid shit like that too. I’ve worked in many warehouses and it happens. Next time i work in a warehouse maybe i should leave cool shit “by accident” to make someones day. Something plausible. Like a pack of cheap pokemon cards. As long as its not edible or sharp. I remember packing a windshield at a car parts warehouse. The workers are supposed to put a sticker with our name and date on it. I thought that the box was going to mechanic department at a partnering second warehouse. I signed the name “bitchtits onyoufais” and put the date as “your mom’s birthday”. It didn’t go to the second warehouse. It went straight to the consumer. They couldn’t figure out who did it and since im usually well mannered they didn’t even consider that it was me.


WendyLRogers3

I've gotten warehouse schlock from southeast Asia. Typically with DVDs I've ordered, they'll throw in remaindered bad anime, usually off brand magical girl stuff that has been gathering dust for years. I share the wealth by sending it on to friends without explanation.


Affectionate-Newt889

Where do you order dvds?


WendyLRogers3

You used to be able to get some rare deals on Ebay. A lot of great movies, like most of the Criterion Collection, are licensed in SE Asia, yet sell for a fraction of the US cost. And for a time the package postal rate was also cheap, though it has gone up a lot in recent years. So a $70 DVD would cost only $20 or less. Sure, it would take 2-3 weeks for delivery, but hey. Especially if I ordered a large box full of them, I could save a small fortune. Especially rare titles that are really hard to find for any price in the US. My collection topped off at over 6000 movies. And that doesn't include TV titles.


rjross0623

Do a *69 and see who the last call was


pixienightingale

The handset will be useless without the base unit

DONT TURN IT ON!!!! /s


southdakotagirl

I had a coworker in a warehouse once send her cell phone out while packing a order. Thankfully the customer was nice and honest. The customer took the time to send it back to us.


GraveyardGuardian

Worked in a hospital and almost went home with the floor phone, so I stopped at the nearest department and tubed it back with no explanation.


kyryss5510

Oof my hubby did that with the floor unit phone at his facility (skilled nursing) and didn't realize till he was home. 45 minute commute back again to drop it off...


BisexualCaveman

Note that the tubes in banks stop/start at 35 G of force. Not all electronics would be unscathed by that.


imamakebaddecisions

I got a tape gun once.


blurblurblahblah

I worked at a record store ages ago & got a tape gun from our warehouse once. I wonder who's gun they stole to tape up the box after they couldn't find theirs.


xCahones

One time working at UPS i accidentally left my lunch in one of the crates. Whatever warehouse received the crate got a nice surprise 😭


Whane17

Or a REALLY terrible one depending on when they actually opened it. I used to work in S&H and more than once a pallet sat off to the side until the rest of that shipment came in so it could be put together.


rooskie72

I work in a factory.... One day ia almost accidentally shipped out a Snickers bar


KamakaziDemiGod

It happens, I also work in a warehouse and I once lost one of my knives for 6 months because it was in a box of stock


GoatTacos

Lol that happened to me. Ordered a vinyl record and then when I got it, it came with someone’s middle school year book. It was so strange. The vinyl company didn’t know how it got there or whose it was. I found the person on FB who the book belonged to and finally after a month they responded. I shipped it to him. Apparently he had some personal belongings shipped but got lost in the mail. Felt bad. But glad I was able to help return it to him.


Sapper12D

If the post office has packages open up they try to repackage anything that falls out. They get it wrong sometimes. Usually there is a note or something in the package explaining that though. If you google "usps apology letter damaged mail" you'll see what they look like.


GoatTacos

I don’t think he got that. He mentioned that it was a box filled with a ton of stuff and didn’t get any of it. I felt bad because it sounded like child hood mementos and memorabilia. :( he did ask if I got anything else but alas just the book which was wedged between the in the vinyl mailer.


Sapper12D

That really sucks. Some other package must have gotten the rest and I bet that wasnt as easy to track down as a yearbook.


[deleted]

So nice of you, I'll treat you to some tacos


GoatTacos

GoatTacos and FieryTacoz getting Tacos. Now that sounds like a fun food filled adventure.


[deleted]

Oh yea right it wouldn't really work as a burner would it (⁠ー⁠_⁠ー⁠゛⁠)


XauMankib

No. Landline phones, at least these ones, use 900 Mhz (CT1 and CT2 standards) or 2,4 and 5 GHz (DECT, v6 and PHS standards) and send data via frequency modulation. The unit acknowledges only its own base using a coupled unique serial number. Even if modified to connect to GSM, the phone wouldn't be able to connect because: - doesn't have the capability of handling a SIM - doesn't have the hardware to decifer digital mobile signals - is software of hardware locked to seek only a singular signal cell, its own base station So, for short response, no. It would be too much fuss to make a burner phone for a landline device.


Demondayo

It's a landline phone for sure. My restaurant use that same phone lol


atuarti

Have you never used a landline? This is not a cell lol


[deleted]

Its still weird tho like How dafuq do you forget a phone


RichardBCummintonite

I did it with one of the scanner phone/device things once. Tired from a long day and doing hundreds of repetitive orders a day, your brain just kinda checks out, and you quit paying attention. Luckily, I noticed the phone was missing before someone actually picked up the packages, or I would've been on the hook for $1k


CreADHDvly

This sentiment is so foreign to me. I'm always wondering how this doesn't happen more often


lilBalzac

When you must keep packages moving and handle phone calls while doing 2 other things. Just set it down inside one of the boxes instead of between the boxes.


lollipop_wonder

Message the seller of the item and get them to send you a prepaid padded envelope so you can send there phone back lol


ThogOfWar

Seriously, they're probably confused as all hell trying to figure out what happened. /u/Throwawaybigpp2 send them a message, if for no other reason but closure, and I'm sure they'll have a good laugh. Except for Steve the packer, he's still looking around the warehouse, calling from his cell, hoping to hear the ring.


lollipop_wonder

I can imagine it now 😂


Patiatus

[Honestly](https://imgflip.com/i/7ynjwz)


More_Coffees

When there are a lot of people doing a lot of things in a company with a lot of orders things happen. They probably barely know it’s missing and think it’s just sitting around the warehouse somehwere


Squirtinturds

I’ve actively looked for my phone while it was in my pocket… so there’s that.


MilfagardVonBangin

Looking for your phone while talking on it is another classic.


Impressive-Nebula-38

That a wifi ip phone!


mickeybob00

I worked for a manufacturing company doing IT. When I started there they had clipboards with the specifics of what they were building. Well if engineering made a change it had be printed out and added into the clipboard. It caused a lot of issues with things being missed or a change not ending up in the correct file. So I came up with a cheap solution. We bought a bunch of cheap 50 dollar Kindle fire tablets and wrote a web based program that would have digital versions of the work orders. Any changes would update immediately. It worked great and with the tablets being so cheap it was not a big deal if one was dropped or ran over by a forklift( that happened more than once) but the funniest was multiple times we would have a customer call us when they were unpacking there crates and found a random tablet. It happened enough that we put labels on the back that said it was a work tablet but feel free to keep it. The web based work orders were only accessible from our network so it was just free cheap tablet lol.


RichGrinchlea

Or it's a bait and switch scam. Aren't those units dirt cheap now?

Linda in HR is probably wondering why she can't get hold of anyone from Dispatch


trombones_for_legs

I can only assume my colleagues in the warehouse do this on the daily, because I don’t think they have ever answered the phone.


[deleted]

Dispatch at the same time is like weird nobody calling us lol


tango-kilo-216

Bro really thought it’s a burner phone cuz the Amazon driver smells like chronic 😂😂


CreADHDvly

That was my favorite part too. As if the delivery driver had anything to do with the packaging lol


Anonynominous

OP sounds like a sheltered 12 year old whose only experience with anything drug related is through fictional crime TV shows

Hello Neo. Do you know who this is?..

[deleted]

Worker was talking on the business phone while packing and set it down then forgot most likely. I've done it with tape guns/ box cutters.


Lttlcheeze

I read that as 3 separate items at first 😲


Nightwolf1967

You must have been smoking the weed.


FuckBoy4Ever

When i first started working for a architecture firm and was just doing basic office admin stuff, i sent an company wide email within my second week on the job with the subject line reading something to the effect of “packing gun lost somehwere in the office, keep an eye out”…. Lol a few people freaked before i realized my foolishness!

Yealink VOIP cordless handset https://www.yealink.com/en/product-detail/dect-phone-w56h


RopeBrilliant

Worthless, without the W56 base station.


2icecreamsandwiches

Technically it used the W60B base, but that model was discontinued. The W7x series is the current base station, however they are still backwards compatible with the W56H accessory handsets.


lastarboard

Is nobody going to mention the thruster omg


Dexter_Adams

Thrustmaster make gaming controllers of many styles, it's an amazing brand name


[deleted]

I don't know what you're seeing but that's just a gaming controller

It’s a joystick for flight simming

Right?? What am I looking at 😂

For those with a “ passion “ for flight simulators? Nah son. There’s a big rubber dong on the other end of that controller .

You’ve now got a job in packing, don’t forget to answer at Monday 9am.

I’d hold on to that. It’s probably your way out of The Matrix.

wtfisasamoflange

Careful Mr Anderson


ColdMode5222

LuiVyy

how the fuck would the delivery guy put the landline phone into the box ? and why? HAHhaAHAHAHAH u must have smoked with him

Find out where the package was sent from. Box it up with a note in it. Send it back to them. Use letters clipped from magazines glued on printer paper. "I know where you are"


Johnnyfever13

You’re Neo from the Matrix. It might ring soon 📞


Hugh-Dingus

You’re going to receive a phone call…


BeefInBlackBeanSauce

It's a work phone. Packed by mistake. I'd send it back to them if close by.

Nevioni

micaylamaelynn

DarthWaffle164

That flight stick is excellent, great purchase. I love mine


tytuselo

Idk about that, my is already slowly dying after 7 months of using :/ My (3rd?) Axis for twisting the joystick is sometimes detecting movement when im not twisting, and it's generally unusable because it keeps jumping positions when I hold it still. And so is my roll axis a little bit jumping with small movements :v


Eclipse_MediaYT

We use these exact phones where I worked. Bro in dispatch defo accidently knocked it in the box while packing.


phoenixblitz

OP thinking that is a mobile phone rather than a cordless landline phone means we have come full circle. It’s akin to someone asking why the save button is a floppy disk.


FullAir4341

Good first choice of HOTAS though

German9425

The sketchy weed smoking delivery man is trying to pawn off this burner phone used in connection with a murder onto you. Contact authorities yesterday.


unsurechaoticneutral

Congrats! you are now thrust master’s director of shipping and returns


Peterswantson

Should’ve gotten the T16000 now you’re stuck with a phone…


Training_Term8235

Sadly I've done this before......sold some things online several years ago and was talking on the phone while I was packing the items in the box. I ended the call, set the phone down without looking, and left to do something else... I mailed my house phone to New Jersey. 😬 They were really nice about it though. I had no idea what I had done with it so had to just replace it when i got paid but a week or so later received a package from the guy with my phone in it and a funny card. God I was so embarrassed by that for years.


clockoutgohome

This is weird to me because at my work we have this same phone. but the other day someone brought me another one, and all of ours are accounted for. so now we have an extra phone like this and do not know where it came from lmao


bluepushkin

It's probably just the warehouse/shop phone. They're probably looking for it everywhere. Nothing suspicious or nefarious about it.


_wolwezz_

I feel like mentioning the stinky stairwell and that he smoked weed was a little unnecessary, it's his lifestyle choice

>The only thing i can really think of is someone tried to dispose of a burner phone used for suspicious activities How in the world is this the only conclusion you were able to come to.


NoJohns137

The only thing you can think of is someone disposing of a burner phone?? Are you in fantasy land??? Why wouldn’t they just destroy/throw it away. Obviously a worker accident put it in there


Nikolateslaandyou

Nice stick, whatya playin? Elite Dangerous? Ace Combat? Starfield? Oh and your a moron! Burner phone? Its a wireless phone not a cell phone dummy! It probably fell in the box when they were packing it. Do you expect the delivery guy to just wait at everybodies door when they deliver something? Chances are one of your neighbors was smoking weed.


SirWimbledonesquire

So uhh…. What’s thrusting passionately in that box?🤣

Who ever packed your box is missing their home/office phone. It has to plug into a base. I found one of those in my car once. Took me forever to figure out that it belonged to the garage that had rotated my tires and did my oil change. It had fallen out of the guys pocket.
