Ultimate Edition Rock Thread

This actually gives me a hunch as to what happened.

Basically, everything in amazon is either automated or done at top speed. Nobody ever looks at anything that is shipped from the warehouse EVER.

With this sticker being on the Charlotte box, it makes me think that, somewhere along the way, when Amazon acquired the ability to sell Charlotte, nobody bothered to tell the workers (or machine) responsible for labeling the product. As such, ALL the UE 6 figures got labeled with "The Rock"... which then meant that, down the line, the poor people who are boxing and shipping this stuff have no choice but to send what was very clearly labeled as "The Rock". It doesn't matter if the product is Charlotte or not, it's labeled "The Rock" and that's what they go by. There's an entire twitter thread about this where a guy who ordered a box of boxes was never able to get his boxes because every time he tried, the items he got were mislabeled. Instead of getting a box of empty boxes, he got a series of boxes, the ones he ordered, one at a time filled with other merchandise. He ordered 25 boxes and ended up with a dozen packs of granola as well as a 4 pack of Harry Potter coasters. He never got his empty boxes.

That's what I fear is going to happen here too. Sure, Amazon will be more than happy to swap the figures with you. But they will NEVER actually go as far as to check what they are sending. You send the figure back? There's a good chance you just get another Charlotte.

Not sure if this has already been announced, but Charlotte UE is available on Amazon to buy for 26.51 and free shipping for prime members.


EDIT:  And its gone.

I mostly agree, but there would be no reason to label them if they were all actually The Rock. I think they just got these Charlotte figures they weren’t expecting, and then you have people who have no clue what the difference is between wrestlers or just don’t pay attention to what they’re doing and all of a sudden there’s Rock labels on the Charlotte figures. It got sorted out eventually as seen by the Charlotte listing that went up as shipped and sold by Amazon.

Actually, and I've never worked at Amazon, just spent a fair amount of time listening to people complain online that do, everything at the warehouse is done via barcode. Every item, every single one, has a barcode that they scan in order to ship. So even if there were only Rock figures, somewhere along the way, a barcode would be involved. Also, you get moments at best to package an item, and if you're too slow you get in trouble. Like, the time one of those workers gets to package an item is downright disturbingly small, and that's one of the reasons that you very rarely see padding material in an amazon package. Adding padding takes time, and the packing people don't have it. There's a very specific reason that Amazon products come either wrong or damaged so much and it's all due to the manner in which the warehouses function (which is maximum output in minimum time).
