Not so nice surprise delivery ...

[Adee]

I ordered some Earbuds last week, new (apparently) reduced, bit of a bargain I 'thought' from the company that makes them.

They came with free ear wax, discoloured parts and the best part a flippin' dog tooth !! (could be cat I guess) how disgusting, obviously someones return with added 'surprise' ... makes you wonder what goes on sometimes. Sealed them up, washed my hands a couple of times ... complained, got apology and refund ... think I'll wash my hands again ...

No QC is bad enough, but there are potential health hazards here.

Appalling.

Good job I’ve had me lunch! Oh here it comes again! 🤢

[bassbiscuits]

That’s minging mate.

[Happy Jack]

Gob-smacked! (That's where the tooth came from.)

[madshadows]

Absolutely disgusting 🤮

[Doctor J]

I’d want more than an apology and refund, I’d be looking for someone to come and remove the offending items from my property.

All part of distance selling culture I'm afraid, same thing as in this thread

I've not mentioned names but the brand is a lot closer to home than you think unfortunately! I get selling returns is usually OK as long as they are checked and as good as new ...

Maybe a tad extreme but I agree my skin was crawling for hours after it, whilst apologetic they didn't really grasp how vile it actually was to receive and handle another persons discharge / animals parts especially with the current pandemic climate ...  I love what Ashdown / Meters do but someone took their foot right off the pedal on this occasion

It's pretty obvious what the brand is from the logos on the box. Not what you'd expect from them at all, or anybody, indeed. Hope it gets properly resolved for you.

Ii imagine you were expecting a blue tooth headset, not a white tooth one.

The wax might be useful for giving the fretboard some food

[BassBod]

That’s horrible, and just plain weird?!!

I hope they can explain/apologise in an acceptable way...not that I’m sure that’s possible in this case 😳

They said sorry, gave refund and offered 15% discount off another set ... I'm not so keen or bothered now ... maybe they thought I'd made it up and was trying it on .... Yeah I made up a dog (maybe cat) tooth ffs, like you do !!!

[BassBod]

That’s not really explained anything, has it.  A tooth, in something sold as new?  I really like their ear buds, but this does nothing to enhance their reputation.

Interesting to see if they pick up on the thread...

My mate found a rats tooth in a Yop yoghurt drink. He complained and they sent him £20 of Yop vouchers.

My mum found a glass fragment in a packet of  sossies when i was a kid.  It was my  supper so she wasnt pleased.

To  our surprise, we got a free pack.   How times change

[Paul S]

I dropped a jar of marmalade on the floor once and, when clearing it up, found there was broken glass inside!  A narrow escape.  I wrote to Robertsons but they ignored me.

 

Nicked from Viz.  😁

Golly..!

I'll take the Sossies and Jam any day ... I'm still not sure they actually 'got' how hideous it actually was to find bodily discharge and animal parts in a pack they sold as new, that any one had even remotely checked the  obviously returned broken / unwanted product. I've not touched them any further for hygiene reasons ...

@ashdown @Ashdown Engineering care to comment?

Was it sold as new or from their B stock clearance?
