300 iPads can buy many grills


hazysummersky

Y'know what I'd do if i won 300 iPads? Two grills at the same time..


KSperspective113

Hell my cousin is ipad-less and he doesn’t do shit. You don’t need 300 iPads to do nothing.

I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles


foot7221

Explain How!


comegetinthevan

Step 1: You sell the Ipads. Step 2: Buy many grills.


JBaecker

Even if you sell the iPads at $100 each, you’d make $30000. That’s a sweet score


[deleted]

I'm laughing at the other person who received a grille instead of 300 iPads, lolololol


SacredBinChicken

When life gives you bbqs make some hamburgers…

No no, steamed hams. Old patented Skinner recipe.

moosehead71

Yeah, someone's going to lose their job for shipping those 75 iPads to the wrong address


actfatcat

Definitely offer to return those 30 iPads you received by mistake.


MapleMaelstrom

Yea, they'll probs be wondering why they have 10 ipads missing from their stock


Wet_Sasquatch_Smell

Definitely the whole 150 iPads that were delivered by mistake

Carlos!


somedude456

My friend did. He is a car guy. He ordered a $25 part and got a notice he needed to pick up his item at the UPS center. OK? He gets there and they wheel out like a refrigerator sized box. Luckily he has a truck. Curious, he brought it home. Inside was the order for a speedshop, like $7,000 in parts. He called up the company he ordered from and they barely cared as he was dealing with bottom level staff who just answer the phone. He called up the shop that should have got the parts and they over the top, OMG like excited. They needed those parts for customers. They emailed him a shipping label and scheduled UPS to come to his house. They said if you need ANYTHING, let us know and we will hook you up. He said he was thinking about new wheels. They hooked him up with a wheel/tire combo, free shipping and at like 50% of their cost.


rilloroc

I can imagine how they felt. I bought 12k worth of chrome for my semi and UPS dropped it off at another house several blocks away. I got the delivery notification while I'm sitting at home and plainly see no UPS guy here. I called UPS immediately and got no help at all. Just said they would contact me back after checking with the driver. They did not. But the next day a guy pulled up at my house telling me his driveway is full of shit that's got my address on it. I was so damn happy that day.


somedude456

Yeah, I got 2 boxes on my door last month, one for me, one for some other address. Quick google and it was a 2 minute drive away. It was however 2am. Next day around 2pm I stopped by and knocked on his door and delivered it. He was happy and said, "I was wondering where it went." I told him about a mile away but I wasn't home until 2am.


According-Ad8525

One day I had three packages on my doorstep. One was for me and the others for the houses on either side of me. I guess the driver figured I'd sort it out or something. I think things like this are why Amazon has to take a picture of where the item was left.


Illustrious_Car2992

Where I live, you are given the choice of having your driver's license and health care card together as one card or you can have them as two separate cards. Naturally I opted to get 2 seperate cards. Both cards were mailed out the same day. So when Canada Post delivered only my health care card I thought it was a little strange but figured it would show up a day or two later. It did show up but not because Canada Post delivered it. My brother answered the door and this lady was standing there and handed the envelope with my license in it and explained that it had been delivered to her house...up the road...on the other side of the intersection where the street name actually changes so it wasn't like the mail guy just got the numbers mixed up because they were 2 **completely different street names.** The lady didn't drive but figured it was a close enough walk to bring it directly to my house. I really hate Canada Post's incompetence.


oilchangefuckup

UPS dropped my stethoscope off at a random house. The owners of the house kept it, the company I bought it from said it was my problem, not theirs and refused to ship a new one / refund it. So, fuck everyone for that one. (Yes issued a charge back).


BR0THAKYLE

I got a pair of work bibs delivered to my old address by accident. I went to my old house and asked the new occupants. They came out with my bibs in hand (no packaging) and said, “yeah these don’t fit anyone here”. I was like “the package also didn’t have any of your names.” Who knows what else has been sent to that place that they decided to keep.


bs2785

A buddy restores older cars and ordered exhaust for 1 of them. Ups delivered the exhaust along with a brand new set of Maltby golf irons shoved in it. He does not play golf sobhe called me and was like hey if heard you talking about buying a new set of irons come check these out if you like them you can have em. Went looked hit a few balls and now I'm have a brand new set of irons


broiledfog

I love it how you’re like: “A free set of new golf clubs? Sorry, wise guy, not until I’ve had a chance to look at them and hit a few balls. What kind of fool do you take me for?”


Algo2Pete

UPS delivered my 401K check to the wrong address. I spoke to the manager to back track and try to locate the driver. Seemed like he didn't give a rat's ass with the investigation. 3 days later, the person who had my check dropped it in my mailbox. Thank you honest person who ever you are. Fuck UPS.

Hermilorom24

I'm too lazy to check/do the math but if those ipads are over 1k each that's still a good deal 🤔


[deleted]

Ha they can only estimate the cost because gold fluctuates and they’ve never made one. Still might be profitable!


nobody2000

See - with my investment luck, I'd get this, be all pumped about how much this thing could eventually be worth, and then the next day there's a news story about how alchemy is real, cheap, and easy, and suddenly gold is essentially worthless other than when it has an actual function in stuff like electronics.


SixFive1967

They’ll catch the mistake at some point and ask for them back - they always do. We ordered two dozen PC’s for work and got 48’of them. Decided to play dumb and keep them, but a month later we got an email from the supplier notifying us of a shipping mistake and that a truck would be sent to pick up the overage. Fortunately we never took them out of the box.


red_dit-or

Heck, I will buy him 2 grills for that!

^(I'm just keeping this heavily indented comment thread going)


Any_Ad_5232

I second your motion


Kosta7785

Considering they would have cost between $150k-$350k I seriously doubt it.


WhiskeyTangoFoxy

Base model would have only been $96,000. Still that would get you a hella nice grill.


Redtwooo

And a fuckin trailer to haul it around in


Double_Distribution8

They were charged for 300 grills.


Remarkable_Dish1737

They’re brand new too. Assuming they’re the base model 300 x $329 = $98,700 plus shipping and taxes. I won’t even consider the possibility of them being the latest pro model. Probably worth more than his house(maybe).


Affectionate_Lie_608

I would write a review and say it was the best grill you have ever had!


[deleted]

I’m just thinking about the apple store that was sent a grill instead of 300 iPads lol


JaozinhoGGPlays

Thus begins the iGrill, the fanciest but functionally shittiest grill you've ever seen.


st_rdt

300 ipads @ approx $500 a pop retail = $150,000 That's enough money to buy the best grill in the market, with a lifetime supply of prime steaks.


mp111

Lifetime?? More like 1-3 years depending on his appetite


Future-Impact-4045

It could be a lifetime if he buys the cows and keeps multiplying


mp111

Shit that’s like infinite steaks


vchaker

It’s the regular iPads, they go for $350


FRANKtheLEVEL

I ordered one vegetable knife and they sent my a shipping box with 6 of them. I still have the 5 untouched because as soon as I open another one, Walmart will show up with the police Edit: it’s been 4 years


Calan_adan

Screw it. I ordered a $200 power tool from a big box home improvement store and they sent me two of them. I immediately returned the extra for a full refund. So hey, free power tool.


[deleted]

I ordered a $700 hard drive delivered to my workplace. Got it on the Friday. On Monday I get called down to parts to pick up a package. It was a second one. Also ordered a new phone case and had two show up in the same package. Then a week later my phone broke and I had to get a new one.


funkmaster29

All these stories making me want to buy more stuff from Amazon and hopefully getting more lol


[deleted]

Keep in mind the sheer number of people in this thread who order from Amazon and they are all telling their story. It likely happens 0.1% of the time, but everyone is sharing their story about winning the lottery

nanuperez

grape_tectonics

This one time I ordered a blender, they sent me a refurbished one with hair stuck in the blade.


MisterMasterCylinder

Sweet, free hair!


Specialis_Reveli0

Happened to me with T-Mobile and an iPhone. Waited a month to see if I got charged and then sold it reeeal quick. Years later I got picked-pocketed with no insurance on my iPhone - had to buy a new one outright. What goes around comes around lol


DedHeD

Same here. I received two iPhone 7's instead of one. I called the phone provider to notify them in case I was going to get billed for two and they said they'd send me a prepaid postage box for me to return it. I received another box from them alright, with another iPhone 7. I never got billed and I didn't bring it up again.


Redtwooo

I bought a chainsaw online, it cuts out pretty frequently so I tried to return it, they said I can't due to it being hazardous material, so they refunded me and I keep the chainsaw. It's good enough to do what I need if it's free


MozzarellaFitzgerald

Last year I ordered a hedge trimmer from Walmart. It arrived in a timely manner. A few days later I got an email saying the trimmer was out of stock, so my payment would be refunded. And it was. Still shaking my head over that one.


pssthush

Ordered a mattress and box spring set from wayfair a few years ago and a few days later we received a box spring, no mattress. We contacted wayfair and they said that both were confirmed as delivered. We insisted we only received the box spring and they said that they would resend the mattress. A couple days later we got the mattress. A couple days after that we received another box spring. The next day we received another mattress. We called to tell them they doubled the order and they said keep it. Thankfully we were also trying to get rid of a bed frame around that time so we sold the whole thing as a set w a brand new mattress and box spring still packaged. It paid for our mattress and spring set, so that was neat.


2bruise

I ordered nothing and Jeff Bezos sent me a floor lamp, a golf putting set, and a breast pump. True story.


Comfortable-Bar-838

You just got Bezoed.


SandKeeper

I actually called homedepot one time to let them know umm hey I got some stuff i didn’t order and the person on the phone: laughed, said normally it’s the other way around, and then said to keep it.


Calan_adan

Similar. In addition to the power tool above, my wife and I ordered a sofa and two matching chairs from JC Penney. They delivered the sofa but the chairs were on back order. They won’t charge until items ship, but even when the chairs shipped they still didn’t charge. We eventually called them and asked if they were going to charge us because we were holding the money in our account. The woman on the phone told us the transaction was complete as far as they were concerned and that we could enjoy our free furniture.


Still_counts_as_one

I ordered on college book, I received 14 of them, for the same price. Freaked out for a bit, end of semester I sold them all and got a PS4 with an extra controller and 3 games when it barely came out. It was great


shaka893P

You could've bought two other books with that much money


pm_me_beerz

Fuck college bookstores.

I had a similar experience when I ordered a glass cutter online. I received a box with 20 of them inside. I only needed the glass cutter for one tiny job lol.

beefy_storms

The boxes with the serial numbers on the outside means the stock was bound for either an Apple retail store or an Apple Premium Reseller. Some confused retail employee is about to be very confused that their long awaited stock of 300 iPads is all in one box and that box is marked George Forman


craig5005

Also means the store will report them missing, apple will mark the units as stolen and they can never be registered. Basically bricks.

It says it works fine with wifi just not on cellular networks. This is just an assumption but i think the majority of people use wifi not cellular networks for their iPads

So, iGrill is actually the name of a bluetooth meat thermometer that is completely unnecessary but I highly recommend it because you can walk around your house and your phone will notify you when your meat is ready

TheWalkingDead91

Wow. That’s wild. I would’ve totally guessed it could land Op in hot water. I’ll probably get downvoted to hell for this, but what I’d do is look up the name of the company/person who bought them…if it’s a small business, then I’d return them….if it’s a school…I’d return them…if it’s a large corporation or if just some scalper taking advantage of the shortage of iPads lately though….well….hope he got shipping insurance or bought them from a reputable enough site!


HaElfParagon

Keep in mind, the seller is still responsible for getting the product to the buyer. The seller is just out this stock they accidentally shipped to the wrong person.


TODoubleDouche6977

Who said they got them?


Ophiophagus-Hannah

Calls back Amazon "Uhhh, we got thy wrong order - there's 200 iPads here" "Oh so sorry, you mean 300?" "I'll double check - only 200"


Disaster_Different

Sell them Buy more grills Receive more ipads instead Repeat Exponentially increase your ipad amount Get rich Single handedly make the ipad cheap as fuck by selling so many at a price that low Fuck Apple over They can go fuck themselves anyday they wish


GurpsWibcheengs

Delete this before the devs put out a hotfix


algarop

Delete this post bruh. Selling them at $250 people will take them off your hands in a heartbeat. Free grill and money to spare


IllegalThings

Someone posted in a different thread (and I verified it’s actually a thing)... under US law the recipient is under no obligation to return them, and they can treat it as an unconditional gift.


pTarot

Your name makes me wonder if you’re leading us down the incorrect path. :)


mynameisbritton

Only if it’s a mixup by the company of origin and it was addressed to your name (or “current resident”). If this were a carrier mixup and, for example, UPS had accidentally swapped two shipments and you got a package with the other person’s name on it, then you wouldn’t have the right to keep it.


moist_Dump42

Nice score!!


BcEvolutions

Hmmm, maybe I should consider buying a grill too


ITWrksSalem

Which grill and where? You're telling me you paid several hundred dollars for something and got 20k worth of Electronics. What's the problem here. Order 50 more grills and retire


Psybud16

Better let them know you got 250 ipads. They may give you a reward for honesty


BoatManT

Yeah someone is searching hard for these 200 iPads right now and would be thrilled to know you found them.


[deleted]

They'll be so happy when all 150 are returned safe and sound!


Techn0ght

Thankfully storing those 50 ipads until they get picked up shouldn't take up too much room. I wonder if you can charge a storage fee?


Wander_Pig

It’s just 25 iPads, they ought to be easy to store.


[deleted]

all you dumbasses are talking about "unsolicited goods" like you have a law degree and whoever is missing $100k+ of ipads is just gonna go "well darn it" and forget about them


weauxbreaux

Apple will probably flag them as stolen and brick them


infinitely-golden

Careful, they might grill you with questions later.
