amazon Alleged canon 1DX Mk2 amazon scam

[Baconbh8]

--------TLDR--------

A youtuber bought a Canon 1DX Mk2 on amazon and got rocks instead, returned it, amazon sent a new one, the new one had bricks instead of the camera.

--------TLDR--------

 

Has anyone else seen the latest Chase on two wheels video about a scam going on with the Canon 1DX Mk2 on amazon?

This is the link for the second video:

I know this could be just a fluke but at least for me it raises a lot of concerns I did not have before, my personal level of trust in amazon has been lowered to almost ebay levels.

On the first video (you really don't need to watch it to get the point) I wasn't so concerned, but now after seen this happen 2 times in a row I will definitely think twice before ordering anything expensive on amazon again.

What do you guys think about this? Does it raises your concern level, or am I just overreacting?

 

-EDIT: On the fist video he states that the camera was sold and delivered by amazon.

There are custom seller on amazon just like there are on ebay. If you buy from amazon directly it shouldnt happen. There is also the possibility that the youtuber is full of shit and doing it for the views.

But there shouldnt be any problem because amazon gives you all your money back or sends you a new one anyways.

Sorry, I've forgotten to mention on my post that he stated on the first video that the camera was sold and delivered by Amazon.

Oh this has potential.

If it was shipped by Amazon, then the YouTuber is probably doing it for the views. Is he even a reliable person? Never seen that video before...

Chase has been around a while, reviews motorbikes from a local dealership, he's not afraid to give a negative view even when handed a expensive motorbike.

If it was sold by Amazon, then either the YouTuber is doing it for views (unlikely because the Amazon box tape was still sealed) or someone working at Amazon warehouse just stole the cameras and put rocks in there.

 

Edit: never mind, the box wasn't sealed, this makes me think he's just doing it for views..

New update to the story:

TLDW: Amazon opened a internal investigation, refunded him and gave him a $1.000,00 amazon gift card. Chase ordered a new camera from B&H and actually got the camera this time.
