Does watering the garden and chicken-tending count?
the woman i bought the house from wanted to leave me her chickens (I have the cutest, empty chicken house outside)
and I thought about it for, like, 10 seconds and decided that my dog would kill me trying to get to them. But my other thinking was that when they got sick.....or cold......:(

Odds are, wherever they ordered it from will send them a new one because of the mess up. So TWO people will then get air fryers.
"Odds are" is indefinite and inherently implies that the "odds" might allow error. Why not just do the right frigging thing to begin with????? Is this how you would want to be treated if you'd placed the original order??

It has your address on it...you're going to have to pay shipping back to wherever.....even if you contact the company they would probably tell you to keep it because it'll end up being more expensive for them to ship it to the rightful buyer. I just got refunded back $270 for an item AND they told me to keep it because it's just a pain to ship back.

Well, I just contacted the co who sent it cos I felt mean keeping it, and they said just to do that. keep it. it would cost them more to have it collected from me than it is worth. But as thanks for letting them know in time to contact the purchaser and tell them their air fryer will be a lil delayed, I got a free e-book of frying recipes :D

For anyone interested, here is another Respondent survey that pays (if selected) $100 for 3 days of food/grocery tracking.

yep. people make such a mark up on commercial stuff like that. Now if it were something super personal from like etsy or something it would be different though it would probably take me 6 months to get it shipped lol
