OK What the fuck? This ever happen to you?
I recently ordered Super Smash Bros Brawl for the Wii from Best Buy. I had a few gift certificates, so I couldn't think of a better use for them, could you?
Well today my shipment arrived. I thought it was a little strange that when I held the box, it was very light and when I shook it, I could only hear what sounded to be a thin card bouncing around inside. I thought to myself, "Maybe they just ship the disc in a sleeve. How shady." Well, when I opened it, I discovered that it was even less.
The contents of my box:
1 packing slip
That's it. The box was empty except for a packing slip telling me that the game was supposedly riding along with it.
Now, before we blame Best Buy, this story isn't that sensational. As I was on the phone with Best Buy, I observed that the end of the package that I did not open was in fact taped up. The cardboard flap that was taped showed ripping on the underside, indicating that the glue holding it had been torn.
So, it looks like it was opened somewhere along the delivery process and the contents were never replaced. This could be theft or it could be accident.. I don't care. The Best Buy associate was quick to re-ship my order and that's that. I gotta wait a little longer to play the game, but I got something to talk about out of it.
