Wrong Order

Meronpan talks about how s/he ordered the Max Factory Tsuruya-san and was sent the Alter version instead...

I was having a heck of a time finding the Max Factory release at online stores so I had to resort to ebay again. Everything was going swimmingly (good price, reasonable shipping) until I got an e-mail from the seller informing me that he had shipped the Alter version!

While normally I’d have no complaints about getting an Alter figure on accident, I had specifically sought out the Max Factory version to 1) match the rest of the haruhi max factory girls, and 2) I liked the pose of the Max Factory release better. I was kind of worried about the hassle the shipping error was going to cause… seller might wait until the original package was returned before sending out the new one… what if they didn’t want any trouble and just wanted to cancel the order after I returned the item… etc etc. In the end I shouldered the burden (probably unnecessarily)… I offered to keep the figure and buy out the tsuruya figure again for a 50% shipping discount.

So now here I am with my pair of tsuruya ^_^;

I previously ordered what was described as "digital TV tuner for the Mac" which turned out to be an analog tuner - but at least it wasn't a completely different product ^^;
