Just got my Techkeys order and they got it wrong!
« on: Wed, 30 January 2013, 20:02:07 »
Thats right, my first order from tech keys and it ain't right. I ordered the following

1   GeekHack January Pack
Item # GH_Jan       $9.50 USD
1   Like A Sir
Item # Sir01       $6.00 USD
1   Green Face Key
Item # Green01       $4.00 USD
1   Creeper Key
Item # Creeper01       $3.00 USD
1   KeyPuller
Item # Puller01       $6.00 USD
Amount    $28.50 USD

But when I opened the package much to my chagrin I found a Glow in the dark keycap WHICH I HAD NOT ORDERED  :eek: I will not stand for this, what is the point of me buying keys when your just giving them way! This practice just devalues the keys I buy and its just plain insulting. You can see the offending keycap bellow, replacing my seldom used capslock key so I can find it when I am drunk and want to rage on some forum at night.





Seriously though, everything looks great and I cannot wait for the geekhack set in other colors and I just made another order today  :p

That was a three-point shot.

Good job, OP!

We must not stand for this! I recently ordered the 8-ball key and received all this additional stuff:



How dare he just assume I wanted all these delicious keys...

I know keymaster, I seriously think we need to get a claim started with the BBB, I will not tolerate such rubbish especially when its being perpetrated upon my fellow forum members. I mean its bad enough to give me free keys but other people!?! This LUNACY must be stopped.

I just got inducted into the "got my order wrong" club, too.  All of the ones I paid for feel so cheapened.

P.S. WTS Techkeys business cards. Who wants to boost their collection?  :p

I actually did have something missing, but it got fixed swiftly. In the excitement I didn't notice that he slipped in a riddler key as it was something I was going to buy, but decided to leave to next time. When he sent the GH pack keys he also added a nuke symbol key, another I was going to get next time.
