  • in a sealed but ventilated plastic tub. 6

  • You've got too much mail to walk through the front door 17

  • (narrator) Dan was shocked to see dozens of postal trays 18

  • filled with letters, 19

  • all from his daughters student loan company. 20

  • The company says it mistakenly sent the same letter over, 21

  • and over again. 22

  • Are you kidding me? Who makes the kind of mistake? 23

  • (narrator) It was an expensive mistake as well, 24

  • all that first class postage may have amounted to 25

  • thirty thousand dollars! 26

  • Even better? Cane says the interest calculation 27

  • on the student loan statement wasn't even correct, 28

  • so the company needs to send him, yes more mail! 29

  • I just hope it doesn't happen again, ya know? 30

  • I might have to return to sender. 31

  • (narrator) Derek Richardson got this 32

  • pair of shoes from Amazon! 33

  • They're ew! Moldy. 34

  • When I first opened these up, I immediately ya know 35

  • the musty smell, and of course I saw the mold 36

  • and I pretty much almost gaged right then and there. 37

  • (narrator) Consumer expert, 38

  • Lisa Lee Freeman told insider edition, Les Trent. 39

  • This is somebody who really was nasty, 40

  • to return shoes like this how do you do that? 41

  • Here's the problem, 42

  • consumers are returning millions of goods every year. 43

  • Some of them after being repeatedly used by the consumer, 44

  • then they're resold, 45

  • apparently in way to many cases 46

  • without anyone at the company inspecting them. 47

  • (narrator) Someone returned a used waffle iron, very used. 48

  • It was resold dirty, with waffle remains still inside. 49

  • And this New Jersey mom got quite the special delivery. 50

  • She ordered diapers online, 51

  • what she got in the mail? Diapers, used diapers! 52

  • They were stuffed into this box, 53

  • needless to say the mom was grossed out. 54

  • Whoever decided to maliciously take the time to do this. 55

  • I can't believe they did it just for 56

  • twenty, thirty, forty dollars. 57

  • (narrator) Amazon says it deeply regrets these situation, 58

  • and says they're working with costumers 59

  • to address the issues. 60

  • In another bit of quirkyness check out this big package! 61

  • Podcaster, Jason Howell got an enormous box. 62

  • (bubblewrap rustling) 63

  • This box, has this package of Oreos in it. 64

  • I just kind of feel like amazon probably can do a better, 65

  • a little bit of a better job, 66

  • matching a pairing the size of their boxes to the order. 67

  • (narrator) Pete Sanderson got this Amazon package, 68

  • after ordering some dog toys. 69

  • Can you come and look inside this box please? Seriously! 70

  • I mean I went out and had to buy this, 71

  • cardboard cutter to cut all the cardboard up, 72

  • that I get from Amazon their packing is nuts! 73

  • There's a theory about how the, 74

  • trucks and pallets need to be packed. 75

  • They need to be in a certain shape, 76

  • for instance to fit in that truck so things don't move, 77

  • so sometimes it makes more sense to put 78

  • a small item in a big box so it all fits together. 79

  • (narrator) There might be another explanation however. 80

  • We've all become accustom to receiving our packages 81

  • in lightning speed and so, 82

  • when packages are being packed that quickly, 83

  • there are bound to be mistakes. 84

  • (narrator) And here's a package no one wants. 85

  • A Las Vegas man decided to get back at some suspected 86

  • porch pirates, so he filled a box with dog poop! 87

  • and putting it in a box and that's what I did. 89

  • (narrator) Erick Birdo 90

  • put the special delivery on his porch, 91

  • and four days later someone took it! 92
