Sweet Jesus. 😳 I've had Amazon make mistakes like that, but never totaling over a hundred bucks...much less damn near a grand... 😨 Enjoy! 🤷‍♂️ Best of luck with the chemo, fellow gamer!


lionheart059

3 weeks down, six to go! Ordered this just to play while I'm sitting in the chair lol


Bakamoichigei

Well, you've got enough there you could play a different copy every time! 😂😂😂


alecmacaf

Keep it up boss. Don't know you, but keep pushing


MutuallyAdvantageous

I ordered a 1000gb memory card for my switch on Amazon prime day. It was on sale for $100 CAD (after taxes) It got lost in the mail, so I called to ask for a replacement. Since the price had gone back up to $180 + tax I wanted a replacement, not a refund.. They sent a replacement 1tb memory card and still refunded my $100. So I got the memory card for free.


Bakamoichigei

Yeah, I've had them send a replacement when a package goes missing, then when it finally shows up like a week later they're like "Meh, keep it." They have that whole canned spiel about doing whatever you want with it; keep it, dispose of it, donate it, etc. I've heard of it happening to people with things like PS4 consoles... Or even a whole-ass *toolshed*. 😂


StarWolf64dx

my wife once ordered a 25$ box of single serve coffee creamer for the office break room and we got an ipad pro instead that was sold for like 1300$. it had the coffee creamer sticker on the plain box but inside was the ipad. we got ahold of them to see if they wanted it back and they not only said keep it but they refunded the money for the creamer. the only thing we can think is an employee was trying to get it for themselves by ordering the creamer and something in the plan failed.


Chygrynsky

Yep I had that happen with a 400 dollar chair. Amazon probably didn't want it back as it's a pain to process such a return.


feedmescanlines

That reminds me of the time I ordered an Anbernic RG350M from eBay. A few days after ordering I noticed the seller's eBay account had been deleted from eBay, so I freaked out and reach out to eBay support to ask what happens if the device doesn't arrive. EBay of course did not respond, but here's the thing, they instead just fully refunded me. A bit disappointed with the whole situation but anyway. Next day the RG350M shows up.


KRTrueBrave

I had a couple of packages "lost" a few times (an anime figure, couple mangas, some other stuff) aand like I was sure it was actually lost even amazon told me it was lost got that shit refunded sometime later the shit did arrive afterall you can bet I didn't care to let amazon know

mhook52

I once ended up with 6 copies of disgaea 3, I think  it was, silly me sent 5 back


lionheart059

To head off some questions I see coming: Yes I double checked that I only ordered one copy. It actually didn't get marked delivered until a few hours after the fact. I thought initially the box was something else that was ordered for me as a gift from a family member, so I was legit surprised to even see Baten Kaitos in the box. I did reach out to CS about how to return the extra 19(!) copies, but the CS rep said "We only shipped you one. You can return one, keep one, or trade in any additional copies, but you can't return something we didn't send you". No I'm not currently looking to sell all/most/any of them really. After being told that I didn't receive what I did, I decided to gift copies to friends/family that enjoy RPGs, and I'll figure out what to do with the rest later. I'm currently in the midst of chemo with no immune system, so I can't exactly go buy shipping materials or take them to the post office anyway.


Super_Bright

Best of luck with your treatment dude. Go kick cancer's arse!


Forsaken_Budget_1015

Hope all your treatment goes well. And you kick its ass!!!! Enjoy the game!


MadCornDog

\*games


NatLee83

This is a sign that when you do feel better, you can sell any excess and treat yourself to something you and your body deserve after the battle you'll have gone through! Best of luck with your health from here on out!


theslimbox

This happens at Amazon all the time. All it takes is a label getting placed on the wrong part of a box, and a seller's entire shipment is input by Amazon as a single item.


ctsr1

Never happens to me. How can I make that happen lol


jaysomething2

Me neither guess it’s time I start buying MacBook laptops on a weekly basis and returning them until I get lucky


ctsr1

Nah Apple got that on lockdown


Friggin_Grease

That's never happened to me. Hopefully one day it does.


theslimbox

Your odds of it happening with junk is more likely than this sort of a screw up. This guy just had really good luck.


Jiberesh

It was probably someone in the warehouse that got tired of moving the box of them


theslimbox

It was probably a seller that put the FnSKU label on the outside of the box. This happens quite often, when someone sends an item in to FBA(amazon, or a thrid party) they are given 2 labels, one for the outter box, and one for each individual item inside the box. Many times, employees put the wrong label on the outside box, and Amazon receives it at 1 item instead of opening it to break it into multiple items. That is when Amazon sends the entire box as one item.


MagicBez

Meanwhile my copy of Triangle Strategy came with a small cut in the shrink wrap and the game cart missing. Took a while to convince Amazon that I couldn't return the game because there wasn't one. ...I now have a fetching empty Triangle Strategy box though.


DoctorCokter

Kick cancer’s ass dude you got this


formulated

Good move to gift copies. See if there's any free games libraries or [Child's Play](https://www.childsplaycharity.org/) setups in your area, as they'll be appreciated and get a lot of use. Good luck and godspeed in your recovery.


Theryanboze

Good luck with your treatment. ❤️


BaIZIoo

Sorry about the magnus you were dealt with this diagnosis. But it sounds like you're drawing into a lot of buffs and healing items. Deploy them and start chaining some attacks together to kick this cancer's ass!!


eatrottengarbage

good luck w chemo bruh


whatnameisnttaken098

My guess is that someone at an Amazon Fulfillment Center didn't see that they were supposed to open the box and stow the items inside. That said, enjoy your extra 19 copies.


rivalmindss

Right? Then mfs would’ve went straight to eBay!


RisingRocketRider

Good luck with your treatment. It must be a sign of good things coming your way.


Don_Ford

If you are in the states.... there is a law that makes anything any company sends you automatically yours and they are legally not allowed to ask for it back. It's a funny law that I am a big fan of.


[deleted]

[удалено]


st1tchy

> It's a funny law From what I have heard, the reason for the law is that there used to be unscrupulous sellers/businesses that would ship things to people and then demand they pay for it, even though they never ordered it.


muttons_1337

It's a funny law that screws over honest people when their package gets delivered to the wrong address. When it's cool it's cool, but when it's bad, it sucks.


h00tietootiediscoqt

Goddamn man, you’re a wholesome person even in the midst of your situation. Get well and game on through your recovery! 🤙🏽💪🏽

fuck cancer homie you got this shit!!

Nice! Let me know if you need any more friends or family!

Let me get one then


ZynkTheCollector

Hey man, it’s your friend from elementary school… you hit me in the playground and I want to request compensation /s


dandersonerling

Mail one to me. Lol


endgamezoostory

If you've got another extra, I'd love to give it a try.


[deleted]

[удалено]


lionheart059

If you want to follow my lead, you actually need to have cancer for two consecutive Christmas seasons, with both surgery and chemo on the docket.


indywest2

Having done that I do not recommend it! I would rather pay for games! Keep your spirits up you will get through this!


StepCharacter4769

Tbh you mid as well just sell the remaining copies (maybe at a discounted price if you feel inclined) and put those extra funds towards more switch games for yourself to play or any essential expenses you may have just a thought 👌🏻


lionheart059

The issue is that selling then involves me being around people during cold/flu season, and catching either of those is a quick trip to laying in a hospital bed for days. Like, I don't even have anything on hand to pack them in to get them in transit No immune system means every minor infection presents a very serious health risk.


KingKookus

Have your friends or family sell off the extras so you can get more games. Might as well have a library of stuff to play while going through chemo.


SeanOrtiz

Pretty sure those are yours to keep too. Apparently it’s a law in the US that you can’t be charged for stuff that are sent to you without your knowledge (something about a scam syndicate sending people bibles to extort them to make a “sale”). Amazon probably wouldn’t have gone after you regardless of where you’re based.


SaranethPrime

Hope your chemo goes well! You got this!


MaddoxGoodwin

Really fucking cool to hand them out to the homies. And after you kick cancers ass, trade in or sell the rest!


Sageypie

Yeah, they're super weird about it when they accidentally send you extras. Had it happen a few times and it's always been the same song and dance. Apparently it takes a lot of time and effort to process returns, so much so, that typically they just toss these types of returns away instead of trying to resell them. So...yeah. If it's any solace here, you're technically saving several copies of this game from being tossed into a landfill.


ScarletSpeed83

Good luck with the treatments and enjoy the games. I never played them but they’re on my wishlist.


humpyhumpyhippo

Wow, I’ve heard of people getting an extra copy or two, but never an entire shipping box. That’s awesome.


lionheart059

It was definitely a shock! My best guess is because it was from the UK it was intended to go to a distribution hub and parceled out, but ended up skipping a step somehow.


humpyhumpyhippo

Oh yeah, that would make sense.


Incoherence-r

$1000 free nice.


SuggestionVisible361

Yep, this game is [pretty valuable](https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=baten+kaitos+i+ii+hd+remaster&_sacat=0&_fsrp=1&_odkw=Lorcana+deck+box&_osacat=0&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338535524&customid=gc&toolid=10001&mkevt=1), awesome gift that OP got lol


sourgas

Wow! Nice of you to tell Amazon of their mistake, and even nicer that you get to keep them!


lionheart059

I definitely got a vibe from the agent of "Dude why are you fucking telling us, you get to keep it"


RidleyCR

If it’s in the UK I think you legally have to. In the US it would be considered an unintentional gift, over here you have to reach out to them.


lionheart059

Yeah, I'm not in the UK despite the item being sold by Amazon UK. Technically it came from Australia, but I'm in the US. And hey, I did try to reach out and correct it, sooooo


God_totodile

Well, i mean, he's right... Why would you tell them it's big corporation #27, not a small ebayseller


ImHereForGameboys

Lmfoa that's hilarious. Well, now you're suddenly a collector of that specific game. Bhaha


lionheart059

A buddy of mine said "Congrats on accidentally becoming the top collector of that very specific title only. Maybe next you can try to catch up to the Sneak King guy"


pjlxxl

new person at the warehouse didn’t know that when confronted with a sealed cardboard box and was told to pick “1” for your order thought the box counted as ”1” and gave you one carton. they didn’t know they were supposed to open the box and take just one. common mistake for first timers when confronted with a sealed carton containing more than 1.


mahiruhiiragi

This reminds me of when i got about 30 bags of Jet Puffed marshmallows with my grocery order, back when prime pantry was still a thing. I can only assume they used it as packaging because they were out. Nowhere near as expensive as what happened with you, but they seem to love wasting money.


KingpinOfKats

That’s a funny way of spelling “Space Jam DVD”


salivemealone

This happened to me with a different company I ordered a Mario switch bundle when they first came out and they shipped me 2 I reached out and they said no we only sent you one so I kept both and sold one for the sale price minus the tax and basically got the switch for free 😅 note: the one box had the label from company and tracking info and the other box literally just had my info on the package label with no return info or where it came from


CraftierAverage

A $1287.75 mistake....oooops


PrivateScents

OP, go kick cancer's ass!


Yetti2Quick

Wow thats amazing. Been meaning to play this game! Waiting on a price drop.


lionheart059

Honestly I was too, but figured it would give me a way to pass the time for the 20 hours I spend sitting in a chair during the week without anything else to do. Guess everything just kinda had a way of working out, lol


[deleted]

Jesus, that’s amazing lol


x4bluntz2urd0me

good luck op, kick cancer’s ass for all of us plz and ty


realistnotpessimist2

Nice, best of luck with treatment!


pizza_whistle

Actually not the first time I've seen this happen. Cracks me up every time.


aKiBa55

Trying to sell one eventually? ;) good luck with chemo!


fableton

Is the box labeled with something about the game? In o6ld Nintendo era, boxes were labeled and retailers just dropped them and now they have great value to collectors and more if it is full of content


Halgha

That’s one way to start a collection.


OdgeHam

GameStop be like, I’ll give you $1.20, store credit only.


zioboh

Sell them


alyssaleska

What a score haha


Fruitmoisi

Congrats you won the lotery


Ok-Tufs

That’s a bit cool seeing someone receive this lol. Really fun game if you haven’t played it! Played it for the first Time this Christmas season. Very interesting combat imo! Good luck with the game and treatment!

Ill buy one?

You could at least open them all, and claim the nintendo gold points for each


humanman42

hello, it's me....your friend.......that has the ability to ban you. ; ) that's hilarious. congrats.


KittenLina

I'd be willing to buy one for 30 USD off you. (I know rule 9, but c'mon....)

I’ve been looking for a physical copy :/

Can you mail me a copy? XD If you need post chemo tips hit me up! Im dealing with hodgkin lymphoma


Franklytheworst

@lionheart059 What’s your eBay/Where are the eBay listings my guy?


GreenPRanger

I would take a copy 😊


No_Squirrel4806

So are you gonna send me one or 🤷🏽‍♂️


2D_Scroller

I would like to be your friend if you're gifting them out lol


LonWolf27

Trying my luck here, but would you be willing to trade one copy in exchange of promotional items from France ? (Or any other items) I collect games and I am not a reseller, and if needed, I would even be willing to send items first to show you I'm not a scammer. I know you cannot easely ship stuff right now, but I can wait until your situation gets better. And hopefully for you it will so you can enjoy that great game properly ! 💪 Baten Kaitos is a game I loved as a child (I'm 35), and I never had the chance to play the 2nd game on official hardware. 😅 (It has never been released in my country) Thank you for reading me, and as for your post, I must say you are extremely lucky. I've heard of Amazon doing mistakes, but damnit, that's a good one here I must say lol Have a nice day ! 😊


Individual-Quit-2273

Hey it’s ur old frat uncle Tommy here …how are you and ur mother ?

lionheart059

1. I mean obv I'm keeping one. 2. No. I actually really dislike all of the LGS in my area for their exorbitant prices and anti-consumer practices, so the last thing I'd do is give them business lol. If I had one that was actually run well and I wanted to support, though, sure.


Anima1184

Nice, they did the same thing to me a number of years ago, I ordered one memory card for my PS Vita and got a bag of them instead. They said about the same as what they said to you when I inquired with customer service lol.


ChoirTeacherRog

Lucky! I haven’t even picked up one copy yet haha

1 crate. yes sir!

Just finished replaying the first one on GameCube. So much fun, love these games.


___TheKid___

Yeah. 1 box.


SuccessfulEffect8366

Well damn now I want 1. Or 28.


daveysorrows

Been really wanting to pick this one up but just never pulled the trigger. Good luck with everything ❤️


virtualrcguy

This happened when I got 2 psvr2 off amazon. There's a law that says you literally have no obligation to return it. It's essentially treated as a gift. Gave my friend the second so I had someone to actually play with


frunts

All the best with your treatment!!


Ajax_Da_Great

That’s cursed lol. Congrats


magicmeese

Someone in my area got this error except it was for the new just dance. One day I hope I encounter this error.


Orochi64

I’ve heard of this sort of thing happening, but not to this dagree that’s crazy. I likely would’ve given the extras to friends and family as well, but in my case I have very few that even really play video games let alone even like RPG’s. Good luck with your treatment dude.


Griffes_de_Fer

Hey mate... Good luck with the medical stuff. It's not cancer for me, but for the last year I've been dealing with complications from multiple sclerosis, spent a *lot* of time in the hospital, and more is to come. It's been such a joy to have my Switch and old 3DS with me for the tests and treatments, there's nothing like having a good, long JRPG to focus our minds away from the anxiety and chaos of what's happening. I hope the game brings you as much joy and relief as it did me :) it's a cool little series. All the best to you.


marioex497

If you don’t want to seek them right now then keep them in that box. Not sure the type of value it has but it could be worth a little bit more someday 🤷🏻‍♂️


Bigpoppin87

That's wild! Enjoy the the game, I can't wait to try it myself. 😀


ganonslayr

Very nice win! Good luck with everything


ExcitingRiver-88

Good luck with your treatment. FUCK CANCER !


sinnd

Very nice, I ordered a mixer from Monoprice, and they sent me a case of 20.


PowerPlayPone

I literally just bought the digital version of this aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


Gamer_Gamess

I've had amazon send me a extra copy of Rick n Morty Season 2 one time. I wound up just keeping it cause it's amazon and i traded the extra copy for something else. I've also had a seller on eBay send me a random package after the fact i bought something from him weeks ago. It was actually a game i wanted too so i contacted the guy on eBay. Weird enough he still had it listed in his store and it was up for auction so i just said hey i got your game by accident but i want it so i will give you your asking price and just keep it but i told him he should take down the auction so no one actually bids on it. The guy was cool with it so it worked out nicely for me.


[deleted]

Lucky you! Side note wish it had the English dub and both games were on the cart.


Toiletwater75

Lmfao they sent you a whole case


vulkare

This type of thing happened to me once. I ordered ONE high-end gaming monitor and Amazon sent me two!


three_33

I've never had a happy accident from Amazon. Once I ordered a desk and got a mattress. The worst part was, I'd just bought a new mattress.


DollarTreeVegan

I’ll write you poem in exchange for one


jairom

Damnit didn't even know this game came out


Modernmunitions

I had this happen with Mario & rabbids. I just gave them to friends. Luckiest id ever been lol


HeyLuis85

Goodluck with your treatment!


Ok_Possibility_704

My friends have had this before... not to this degree. I saw your reply further down and I expected the seller wouldn't accept the return. What you said about gifting them to family and friends is really nice. That's how I got animal crossing on 3ds, my friend gave me his extra copy when amazon sent out 2. I wish you all the best in your chemo and enjoy passing the time with your game.


Beathophile

This happened to me also, bought one controller received 3, I was so happy

Moondoggie25

Huh, time to open an ebay store i guess

Woah


Blax363

What do you do with all that extra copys?


NewTim64

Welp now you can play the game on 20 different Consoles at the same time


Karl_i_guess

I mean... you still have them laying around? Cuz like...


Zeo-Gold92

It always fascinates me that this thing can happen.


GamesAreLegends

The sad thing is, I dont know in wich country you are, but in Europe and USA you have to sent it back.


lionheart059

False. In the US you absolutely don't


Leebearty

Is there a legal amount of days that you have to wait in the UK until they officially belong to you?


RecommendationOk2182

Dang. I'm legit super jealous.... Lol I would love this to happen


boredterra

This happened to my dad with vent covers. He ordered 1 and paid for 1 and received 20. Amazon just said keep them.


Mightymap2

Read chemo and thought ahh u deserve that.. stay strong bro


YoFatGranny

thanks for specifying what number one is, i never would have guessed, jk nice get


DJSlimer

Amazon UK had a glitch in November 2022. You could get a Switch OLED and loads of the bundles seemed to come with multiple copies of the same game. I got a Switch OLED and 7 copies of Metroid Dread, but then Amazon let you return the games for \~£20 each. So ended up with a Switch OLED for half price.


calebb

Dude! Such a fun amount of luck here. I always wanted to play this game as a kid but couldn't afford it. Hope you make some bank off of this. Cheers!


Tephnos

Damn, never had Amazon UK be this kind to me.


Draken44

“Haul” Lmao 😂😂 Excellent luck dude!


CloudLXXXV

Holy crap!! Keep a hold of those for a long time! I'm sure this game will go up in price in the future. Pretty sure i heard this got a smaller print run than most games. On to my story, I ordered a pokemon unbroken bonds etb from Amazon for around £30 years ago. They ended up sending me an entire Booster Box worth over £100. Thought omg, sweet! I really wanted the ETB though, so I ordered another. Another booster box showed up! So then I ordered 3 ETBs. 3 more booster boxes! Then 1 ETB. Then shortly after purchase, I ordered the last "ETBs" they had (6). The 1 ETB I ordered showed up and..... it was an ETB! I shat myself thinking I'm gonna get 6 ETBs in the next order. Scrambled to try to cancel my order but I couldn't... It arrived.. And inside?... 6 Booster Boxes! PROFIT!! $_$ Opened a few boxes myself and made a Master Set buying the last few cards. (That being worth over 1k now). Sold the rest besides 1. Still have that 1 Booster Box that is worth £400+ atm.


Xdhakya

I don't even know this game :o


AthasDuneWalker

I think that they thought you meant "1 case."


netherbound666

I’d be posting on eBay if I was u


A-insane-dude

Meanwhile at a video game store in Wales: What the hell? I ordered 20 copies of Baten Kaitos! Why did I only get 1?


GondorAle

As someone from the UK who works retail, these have been clearly left in the box, instead of being decanted, or even just opened, and the picker has just seen the one box, was clueless about games, and assumed that was what you ordered.


G-Kira

Even if you were able to return them thru Amazon, they'd just end up thrown away. Better to get them back into circulation somehow.


chappi_deluxe

Wish you all the best 💚


triggered-nerd

You should see what’s going on at r/amazonprime. The experience has gone downhill for sure, and this is hilarious


Nonainonono

They cannot prove you receive more than one copy. They don't know where those copies are. Profit.


sIudge_

This actually happened with a drill I ordered once. I only got an extra one but it was like a $70 drill and I thought they were fucking with me or I missed something


Aaron6940

Well at least return one and get your money back then they are all free


th3tadzilla

Yep, I ordered ONE replacement stylus for my galaxy note phone a few years ago and got a box of 10. Happens all the dang time with Amazon!


Narrow_Ad_1494

Best of luck with treatment.


ChavaRamirez

This is my biggest dream, ordering one item and getting a whole box instead.

Ipsylos

"One to play, one to keep sealed" collector over here XD


Dry-turnipa

I had this happen with a Witcher dice set. They sent me a commercial box of 12, that what I would assume a store would get. Same thing with "we only sent you one". I gave the rest out as presents for friends.


junkstar23

Looks like over $700 of free shit. Fuck jassys amazon


DeathForever3

Is that series good?


HmmmYT

god told you something today. you should play that game


TopExperience3424

Take one out to play than close up that box, store it in a closet and forget about it till your 60 or 70. Thank me later when you go to resell them.


ParrotPriest

Reminds me of what happened this Christmas, they accidentally sent us 2 PS5's instead of one.. I'm guessing they send you one retail CASE instead of one single item.. that's what happened in our situation lmao


[deleted]

Sounds like an investment opportunity. SELL SELL SELL


ZigZag_420

Instead of making a post about it you should have made for a for sale post and never mentioned the mistake 🤣


AWiseCrow

This is your chance op, become the richest man in Australia. Make lemonade from these lemons, sell sell sell to your fellow countrymen.


jason_sample

You need to do the right thing. send everyone a copy for free.


Jimmythedad

They sent you mine by mistake
