Your Package Could Be Eaten By Alligators

By Mark Lorenz on March 28th, 2010

Ones that are shipped to you. Your genitals could also be eaten by alligators, if you decided you had a swamp fetish and liked to rub them up and down hapless animals. What? You’ve never had..? Fine, I’m the weirdo.

I’ve had many interesting and involved experiences with Amazon.com’s customer service department. Conversations ranging from, “No, I didn’t order wireless headphones,” to, “Yes, I ordered this microwave for someone that I hate, but I don’t need two of them, where can I send it for a refund?” But one thing I’ve been able to avoid so far is customer service reps who weave crazy stories about where the packages they’ve sent have gone to. Like inside the belly of an alligator.

Will is a blogger. Who blogs about packages. When his package went off of Amazon’s grid, he called customer service, and complained and they told him it was eaten by an alligator. Will was understandably confused.

I made her repeat it about five times. “It may have been a different animal” was as far as she’d budge off of this story.

He called the shipper, who was even more confused as his package hadn’t been damaged.

You gotta love that someone was probably on the phone with customer service for hours, only to be told that their package was mauled by an alligator. If somebody could mo-cap the facial expressions for that conversation, they could make a ton of money.

    I think that's when you demand a replacement. Well actually you demand it before the hours and hours of phone time. And make them deal with the shipping company. ;)
