A day sooner than I expected, my box of superballs.
Here is what a shipping box of 100 superballs looks like
That's....wait...that's not 100. That's 12:
Curse you, Amazon third-party sellers. There are far fewer, and they are much bigger, than I expected. 12 =/= 100.
Ugh, time to get on the "horn," by which I mean Amazon's terrible complaint system. YES, the thing I ordered was 100 ping-pong sized superballs, what I got was a dozen small-baseball-sized balls. Dangit!
Well, I sent a message to the seller. We'll see what they say. If they're rude or sketchy about it (claiming, "But we said it was for a dozen balls" when the description clearly said 100 little ones) I will just keep these and count the cost as "learning money" (as in: Learn not to buy from third-party sellers on Amazon). If the are apologetic and offer to sub the right thing, I'll print out the return label and do the return. (I have until early May).
If they act like they don't speak English (that's sometimes the case with third-party sellers, stuff totally gets lost in translation), I'll also count it as "learning money"
I may wind up having to go through "Oriental Trading" or somewhere instead for little superballs, which I still kind of want. These are bigger. They almost resemble "Dragonballs" from that anime...
But yeah. Amazon's customer service, especially as regards 3rd party sellers, leaves a GREAT DEAL to be desired.
