Ordered a single engine air filter from Walmart, received an entire case of them

[ZH84]

Here's a little pro tip: Order your engine and cabin air filters from Walmart and get free delivery. Apparently this is a common thing at Walmart where the delivery person doesn't pay attention and will accidentally give you an entire case of something instead of on individual item. I paid for one single filter and now have enough to last till 140,00 miles.

In the next 6 years I'm guessing we will never see a post from you about having a dirty Engine air filter

Yes, I’ve ordered individual items from Amazon and received full cases and only charged for one!

You're shipping them back, right?

Set for six years.
Save one dirty filter and put it in one of the new filter boxes. Empty the other five boxes and keep the new filters. Next show them that one AND the five empty boxes, tell them you ordered only one and start raising hell.

They make bazillions of dollars but won’t pay enough to get smart employees.

Betcha a cheap six pack of beer they’ll credit you for five filters.
:’P

I am so going to pay for that bit of brilliance !

Yes. It's for the hybrid and the filter is surprisingly tiny which is probably why I got the whole case. The cabin air filter is twice as big and the box for a single one of those was bigger than the box for this entire case of engine filters.

I think Walmart was actually the only place that had both the cabin AND engine filter in stock, most online stores only had one or the other. Even Amazon was out of stock. It's worth a shot getting them from there and seeing if you get lucky with 5 free filters

Lucky you! I ordered a single 40" S8 Baja Designs light bar from Extreme Terrain. They sent me a box of 4... That's a $1100 light. I did the right thing and sent 2 of them back.

You hit the jackpot. Makes up for all the other problems you might have experienced from Amazon over the years

Coincidentally, I ordered an air filter, oil filter and some unrelated stuff yesterday. Curious now to see what Amazon actually sends.

Why don't people these do the right thing?
It's getting worse and worse as time goes on in this world!
If it was your business:
1. Would you want to know if an employee made a huge mistake?
2. Would you want the customer to do the right thing and return the extras?
3. Would you thank the customer by offering an one time discount for their honesty? (This happened to me)

And the justification that keeping the extra, equals the shortages you didn't receive? You know you bitch to sellers
when you're short until you get your product or money back!

What goes around comes back to get to get even.
Karma's a bitch!

Amazon will probably pick your order correctly.
The OP ordered his air filters from Walmart.

I've received over-deliveries, wrong items received etc, from many different vendor over the years, Every time I've reported it, they say "keep it." It's just not worth their time and trouble to do a return.
Most companies expect and budget for a certain small percent of problems with sales, and they book it to "errors and omissions." Karma not an issue.

You are absolutely correct.
What most people don't realize, is that Amazon does not pay for the mistake. It's the company / business owner who pays for Amazon's mistake.
