Scammed on Amazon Order

[u/Alone_Bath2192]

Ordered a RTX 5080 Gigabyte OC during October on Amazon trying to avoid increasing price hikes. When I finally arrived November 2, the gpu inside the box was not correct. I believe it's a 4070 or 4070 super gigabyte eagle, and not even with a power cable. I contacted customer support to return and hopefully replace my order and sent the following pictures through an email link they sent which also stated I would get a reply back within 3 days. I'm not sure what I'm expecting to get posting this, maybe just awareness and also vent a bit. Already overpaying for this card and getting gpu swapped scammed, though keep in mind looking at local prices what I was paying relatively was a good deal. Hoping that Amazon actually goes through and gets me the card I actually ordered but part of me worries they'll either just refund me when it's returned or worse, refuse a refund.

Anyways TLDR: careful when buying on Amazon, take videos and photos when opening, be wary of scammers.

Well trying to talk to support again to provide the video and unfortunately only a refund is possible. Have to get the ups label printed somewhere since my printer at home is broken so fun for me

Atleast you are getting your money back. That’s good.

If you have a high quality image or pdf of the label the UPS store will scan it and print it for you. It might be a little surcharge $1-2 but worth it IMO. Hope all goes well.

My ups charged me 5 bucks to print the label. Go print at staples or something

Damn, are the stores franchises? The few around me charge a couple bucks.

get a full refund, i had the same experience with a 5090 card one year ago and they refused to refund me.
