You can tell by the box that the damage was done during shipping!

u/ProStrats 1d ago

But how can we be certain they didnt pack it with the giant dent, and the box just didnt collapse on the dent?

taps head thats a real thinker, right?

u/Exhausted-CNA 1d ago

The box was clearly dented. honestly it could be from Amazon or after it was packed of shipping 🤷

Shouldn’t matter. It should still be insured for shipping. Amazon should still be able to call the shipper and get it covered under insurance. Then send a new one out.

Even if it was shipped from a third party warehouse, Amazon is the customer contact point and Amazon would be the party “on behalf of” to work with insurance.

u/StormFallen9 17h ago

Ah, so they put the perfectly good dispenser in a dented box and the box dented the dispenser

u/dnuohxof-2 18h ago

And they basically voided any claim by opening the box and not rejecting delivery.

u/Exhausted-CNA 18h ago

I mean maybe opening the box but if nobody was home when it was delivered

The seller right before fulfilling the order

This is obviously shipping damage and this is actually comical lmao. How did they fuck it up that bad???

u/Drfoxthefurry 22h ago

Maybe someone nearby ordered an anvil and it went on top

u/Joshua_ABBACAB_1312 19h ago

Easy. Manufacturer's packaging is for freight shipping.

u/Content_Ambition_764 18h ago

Call Amazon. You’ll get 10% off

u/grunkle_dan78 1d ago

did someone ride that down a flight of stairs?

u/OnMyMawMaw33OnGod 1d ago

Honestly, I got one from Amazon a couple years ago. It worked fine until the inner thermostat broke… And the primary company was fucking useless with help. I recommend if you get a water purifier get one that’s a countertop one that requires no technology.

I have a tankless RO under the sink. LOVE it. I have been using it for several years now.

u/McNalienBro 1d ago

Pretty sure this was done by shipping, not Amazon lying.

100% damaged by courier

I'm just pissed people are still sucking off bezos for two day delivery. Amazon needs to die.

u/EweCantTouchThis 1d ago

You’re trying to reason with someone who thought it’d be a good idea to buy a used water dispenser from Amazon.

22

u/TheRobbuddha 1d ago

Are you implying the damage should be expected or do you think water dispensers can’t be fully cleaned and sanitized?

11

u/sketchymedic 1d ago

Some damage (not this) should be expected, but also there is NO way it's sufficiently cleaned and sterilized.

u/ernyc3777 1d ago

Bro I just laughed so hard I woke my girlfriend up lol

u/Chef_BoyarTom 1d ago

100%. Because even if it was physically in good shape, unless this thing was basically brand new otherwise... there's no chance I would trust Amazon to properly clean and sanitize it from the previous owner.

15

u/SlugCatBoi 1d ago

Just sanitize it yourself?

3

u/Qzx1 1d ago

Maybe rinse it out… with some water 💧?

1

u/Chef_BoyarTom 1d ago

Depending on design and how well it was maintained, it may not be that easy and just rinsing it may not be enough. These things can developed mold in the water lines that can be difficult to fully remove.

3

u/Qzx1 1d ago

Totally agree. The silicone seals on the spigot are likely to build grime for one. I was making a joke mostly

-6

u/Chef_BoyarTom 1d ago

Why should it be on me to clean it if Amazon is the one taking it as a return and reselling it?

6

u/SlugCatBoi 1d ago

If the discount of used stuff isn't worth it to you, don't fucking buy it used.

It is worth it to this person, and the product can be properly cleaned.

1

u/Zilli341 21h ago

I feel like I would prefer a bit of grime and algae over residues of lube and oil. So new or used it needed to be cleaned either way.

u/FunGuy8618 1d ago

You're right but you're being an asshole about it. I like the cut of your jib 👍🏾

u/Fine-Aspect5141 1d ago

You realize if you're at a warehouse and a trailer shows up with packages that damaged you should reject the delivery citing damage and get it replaced right?

u/CyberpunkSunrise 1d ago

Yes, that's exactly what he is saying. He's just pointing out that blaming this on Amazon is stupid, they had nothing to do with this. IT obviously didn't leave the warehouse in this condition, this is on the shipper.

1

u/cheviot 21h ago

It was shipped by Amazon. If the damage occurred in shipping, then Amazon failed to package the item correctly to avoid damage in shipping, regardless of the box the manufacturer placed it in.

1

u/Fine-Aspect5141 1d ago

What is the name on the truck that delivers Amazon packages?

Sure they use " 3rd party contractors" to run the delivery end, but if the uniforms vehicles and packages all say Amazon on them than it's Amazon doing the shipping.

2

u/CyberpunkSunrise 1d ago edited 1d ago

Doesn’t change that the way OP is looking at/wording this is stupid. Implying that this was “very good“ condition to them. It looked nothing like this when it left the warehouse.

u/everythingethan 1d ago

Honestly kind of fair, but at the same time idk how thorough Amazon truly is when they check their warehouse items and give them the description. I’ve ordered from Amazon warehouse plenty of times cause it saves a pretty good amount of money. I’ve had good and bad experiences, but nothing like this before. The thing that makes me wonder if it was possibly Amazon is that the box had kind of a tape patch, which could have already been a dent or happened in their actual warehouse. Ngl though you got me thinking this Jeff Bezos’ burner account with how upset you got lol

u/FunGuy8618 6h ago

Bro is a Division 1 hater. Not my preferred approach but gotta respect the commitment 😂

u/HeavilyInvestedDonut 1d ago

Do you honestly think it left the warehouse in this state? Lmao

The shipping damage photo is clearly in both posts. Not sure why you’re do upset. You seem fully infuriated instead of mildly. In that same UPS post that discussion included multiple possibilities. If you want to, go spend your night sifting through it 👀

1

u/Special-Tangelo-9927 1d ago

Isn't the shipping box damage the first photo they posted here? I agree that it's obviously a shipping issue, though.

u/Draked1 16h ago

I ordered an espresso machine that was listed as “mint.” Fucking thing was used, covered in milk from the frother, dented, a chunk missing from the bezel, coffee grinds left in the grinder. $800 machine showed up disgusting.

u/Rodnal 1d ago

It’s fine, that “damage” should buff right out.

u/jerry111165 1d ago

u/BRtIK 18h ago

If you can I would recommend going through ready refresh.

They are brand sometimes they set up inside Sam's club.

They do a deal I had a water cooler for like 3 years and I paid two dollars a month for.

And even at 3 years $2 a month I still paid a lot less than you paid more than likely I don't know how much you paid.

But it's a better deal for so many reasons the only drawback was you technically are also signed up to get 2 jugs delivered to your place. You just reschedule the deliveries every few months.

Sometimes I got free jugs out of it because they sent them by mistake and when I told them they just removed the charge. And the jugs are worth a lot too

Because 99% of the time I get what I ordered and I get it in a more than reasonable time frame.
