Hi Guys.

So last year I ordered a Raspberry Pi from RT-Online in the UK, and it was delivered last year August as usual, everything normal.

So then this year August, I get a random e-mail from DHL to say my order from RS-Online of a Raspberry Pi is on it's way. Which was interesting considering I didn't order another one.

True's Bob, 2 days later I have a package from DHL with a Raspberry Pi in it, which I did not order. All the details were mine though, and the package was labelled as "Replacement Unit". But I never complained about the first one.

Now I'm definitely not complaining ... I got a free Raspberry Pi :D ... but did anyone else receive replacement units? was there perhaps a defect with the first bunch and they decided to send everyone a replacement?

I'm just a tad confused :p

Regards

Itai
 
I got 2 dolls dresses in a package from China without a adress to label in my PO Box. Wanna swap?

Not happy with the dolls you ordered?
I once received a package from Amazon with a bunch of DVD's to my PO Box, but wasn't mine. Luckily the post office knew who the person was because they came in wondering where their package was ... idiots put my PO Box number there. And that PO manager has been very good, even helped me get my money back for insurance for parcel stolen at Speed Services ... so trusted her to do the right thing with it.

But, no, I'm happy with my second Pi ... will be used as another HTPC setup. And the address (And Name) was my own ;)
 
Entered into a competition perhaps?
 
Hmm I wonder if I also got another one. As I arrived today at home, I received a letter from the Postoffice I need to go pick up an item at the post office, and take R164.25 with me to pay for tax/import tax.

Looking up the tracking code online... yields:
Code:

That date from last year, is when I kinda expected a raspberry pi, but since I didnt get it, I complained to the online shop who sent another one. They however said they received the original one back.

So I dunno, will check it out tomorrow.
