Real life comedy
This is probably my most funny experience of online shopping. In search of a 35 mm Over The Ear Headphone Cushion, I landed at one product in Flipkart. Now if you ask me why its so scare, then I can tell its because Sony stopped producing the over the ear headphone that I have. But I still love it - yes, the Sony MDR-Q22 that I still have works fine. It's just that it lost its beauty because the cockroach ate the cushion. There were some spare caps which I put and all it needs is the cushion.
I remember buying three of them and gifting couple of them to my relatives - yes I did love this one so much that I wanted people around me also use that. In search of a similar headphone, I could not find anything other than Panasonic RP-HZ47 available in India. So I went and ordered one and it came after two months. I was curious to get it and since it did not come as promised I reached to Amazon and they advised to ask for a refund or contact the seller. When I contacted the seller he told me that, its coming from Japan and was stuck in customs π, Really !! Finally it came, not bad given that there are no other choice, but it did not meet my expectation.
I used this for some time but still the MDR-Q22 was coming in my dreams. So I thought to try one more time to give a retrofit to my Sony MDR-Q22 and got some cushions from local market, but they were like XXL shirt put on a thin guy. They did not cost a lot but the petrol cost was not less. So I thought, I would do some research and order the exact size from online. Interestingly I learned how to measure the size , and it appears Crysendo is the leading brand providing cushions in all olnine platforms ( Ya, olnine, someone told me thatπ) and Crysendo does show you some pictures on how to measure the size. I never tried to measure anything like this.
Grabbing the small scale and protractor from the kids, I figured out its 35 mm that will make the MDR-Q22 handsome. But alas, searching olnine at several places for few hours, I found there was only one seller having only the last piece for me in Flipkart.And look at the price βΉ799 and 72% off on it makes it βΉ220 - it definitely is not a fair price for just 2 pieces, but given that only the last was available, I did not want to loose that last piece and ordered it. After that the item became Sold Out.
And see what they delivered.
Looking at it I could definitely make that I have been shipped a wrong product, but then I was curious to think, what kind of product is this. Moved it left and right and I think, its some kind of tap ? But look at the size - did they make it to pass Tritium that costs around $30,000 per gram ? But then why two taps !! After thinking about it for some time, I am have decided to place my refund but I will hold on for a day, if someone can tell me this actually is a precious gem that they shipped by mistake !!
Who knows my investment is lucky !! By the way I am going to share this post in Flipkart in the comment justifying the refund:)
