Woot! Sent me an empty Apple Watch box
12So I ordered an Apple Watch for my better half. This was to be a Christmas gift. It arrived yesterday; being myself, I insisted she open it immediately. She said no she wanted to open it at Christmas with the family. I pleaded and she agreed to open it and not wait for Christmas… thank goodness she did not wait until Christmas with the family–THE WATCH WAS NOT IN THE BOX. Only a charger and some paperwork. Not even a sticker on the Apple packaging.
What a shit-show. Though I’d share. Looks like I was not alone.
Worst part–they have no more stock. At least they will refund once I send them their empty box back.

Maybe it’s the new Apple Watch Air.
@mehcuda67 OK that was funny
The second comment on Woot says, “So far this is the steal of the night.”
Whoever supplied them that stock fucked them over.
By the looks of the map, there was 8 units.
@narfcake Or someone in the warehouse.
@sammydog01 Possible. They were fulfilled by Amazon, though, which I thought was pretty watchful (high security) in the warehouse.
@narfcake Having worked at Amazon in the past, I can confirm that they have some pretty significant security there. Those boxes were probably empty before they reached Amazon.
@Durago That’s what I figure.
@Durago I can vouch for the security of their distribution centers, as a major supplier of their security apparatus (apparati?)
Go enter the Apple Watch Series 3 giveaway on AMZN. Your chances are slim- but you already don’t have a watch. It closes at midnight. Enter all the giveaways, it’s free.

@OldCatLady Why didn’t you show me this contest earlier? I could have felt like a complete and utter failure every day since November 21 instead of just the last few days.
@sammydog01 I just found it myself. Hindsight is great.
@OldCatLady
Where do I acquire some Fine Vintage Hindsight?
I’m feeling I’ll never acquire Foresight.
Shit! Some fucker should be going to jail for this shit.
This reminds me of the “x-box” shit from ebay years ago. Fuck woot.
I’d wager that someone at the Amazon warehouse stole them (20%) or a 3rd party resold them to Amazon w/o the actual watch on purpose (80%).
@Collin1000 The seals were apparently breached on all the boxes.
