This actually happened this past Black Friday but I got the package today. A creator I watch semi-regularly had partnered with a sex toy website and hosted a giveaway. I'm only human, my electric toothbrush can only "do it" for me so much, so I applied. I ended winning a $250 gift card which I found to be a steal, because combined with the Black Friday discounts it meant I could get some normally pricey items for basically nothing. I ended up choosing two different vibrators and even won a third for free because the order was over a certain price. So I checked out, feeling pretty good about the basically not-purchase and knowing I'd be feeling even better in the future. However, that basically came crashing down when I saw the order summary. There was a $200 dollar charge despite the fact that the products I'd ordered only added up to be in-budget with the money on the gift card. So I looked closer. So I looked closer. The best I can figure is that I misclicked/clicked too many times, because instead of having three different vibrators, I had five vibrators, three of which were the same.
I didn't freak out at first. I'd literally just placed the order, so you'd think I'd be able to cancel it. Right? Well apparently this company packages and ships their products instantly because they had a no-cancel-no-returns policy. I can understand the no-returns policy - why is god's name would a store take back a used sex toy? - and to their credit the store did ship my order within a few hours, but that now meant that I have $200 worth of vibrators I had no intention of purchasing. The whole point of this giveaway was so that I could get free vibrators. Not to mention that my mom could potentially see the charge to my bank account (our accounts are connected because I still live at home and we use the same bank). Not that I think she'd go looking, but on the off chance sees the charge and gets curious because I rarely spend $200 at once (I still live at home).
I guess the best thing for me to do is try reselling what I didn't mean to order. I know it's the holiday season but there's no one in my life I could give a vibrator without dying of embarrassment. They came shipped in plastic wrap that I haven't opened so there'd be no worries about the hygiene. I'd just have to figure out how online selling works and shipping costs. And also hope that anyone would risk buying a technically second hand sex toy.
TL;DR: I misclicked on a sex toy website and ended up with $200 worth of the same exact vibrator
