The memory industry has gone wild in recent times, and consumers are struggling to get their hands on modules, yet one buyer managed to get pretty lucky with his RAM purchase.
Amazon Warehouse Negligence Sent a User RAM Kits Worth Ten Times More Than the Original Order
Well, the retail market has pretty surprising stories for us sometimes, and most of them involve either hitting a jackpot with the refund process or relying on Amazon FBA sellers for purchases. This time, a Redditor ordered a single Corsair Vengeance 32 GB DDR5 memory module for $300, but the package he received from Amazon's delivery service was simply shocking. When he unboxed it, there were a total of ten modules, each with the same specifications as the one he ordered, meaning he managed to snag ten RAM kits for the price of just one.
While I know most readers here are probably 'jealous' of the Redditor (including me), the more interesting aspect of this story is how the incident happened in the first place. Redditors in the comments section who claim to be warehouse employees say this is a common error: one scans the entire barcode of the package instead of picking out a single unit from inside the box, which is why the purchase is registered as just one unit.
If you are wondering what the lucky Redditor would do with all these RAM sticks, he has indicated he plans to sell the modules at reasonable prices, lower than retail. Some individuals argue that the whole story is made up to gain popularity within the PCMR community, but Redditors say they have experienced similar incidents with their Amazon packages. Well, in the era of memory shortages, finding such luck is extremely rare, especially when you get ten times the RAM you actually ordered.
