So, I did a search for vapor king (as I had received one as a gift from my inlaw, and I wanted to get some extra carts) I clicked on the link, and it took me to electronic cigarettes inc. dot com.

I was new to vaping, and really did not know what I needed, but I was experimenting with cart mods for my 510, so I ordered 50 of them.

So, my package came about 3.5 weeks after I ordered it. I called about 2 weeks in, they apologized, and it still took nearly 2 more weeks to receive my order. Not an emergency, fortunately, as I had carts I could use.

When my order arrived, I realized I had ordered 250 carts by mistake, so I called the company, and they told me how to print a return slip. (I thought it seemed a little expensive for only plastic pieces )I filled it out, and paid somewhere around $10 to ship it.

In the package I included my receipt, and a hand written note saying I would gladly take merchandise in trade of the return, and to just call my cell phone once they received it.

Well, a week after I sent it, I was nosing around on their site, bummed they had not called yet, and realized at that moment that $50 was about the going price for 50 of these carts, ok may be a little high, but not going to break the bank.

So, what had happened, is their order filler accidentally packed 4 extra boxes of 50, to the tune of about $200 retail loss for this vendor, when I actually only spent about $60 including shipping. So, I call them, and a drippy gal answers the phone, and asked what addy I sent it to, and I told her it was their po box.

I also explained that they had mistakenly sent them to me, and I returned them, and that I would appreciate a box of cartomizers, or something like that to reimburse me for the shipping. She said no problem they would call when they got the package.

Ok, so 5 more days have gone by, and no call from them. I save them $200 and they cant even call and say thank you, let alone sent me something to reimburse me for the shipping.

They made a mistake for shipping them to me. I made the mistake for shipping them back, not realizing I had not been charged for them. Now I have a sour taste, knowing that I could have kept them. Yes, that would have been dishonest, but would have made great PIF gifts, but instead the retailer cannot even say thank you.

Thoughts?

I think you did the right thing by sending them back, whether or not you were aware that they were given to you by mistake.

I do think, however, that they should reimburse you for shipping costs with the carto's you wanted, or refunding the shipping costs to you.
Just keep pestering them, that might get a response from them.

This is why I always document everything I purchase on the internet, and take photos when I'm opening a package from a supplier with time and date stamps. That way they can't turn around and be like "We never sent you those extra 200 carts, we don't know what you're talking about".

Just take satisfaction in knowing that at least on your part you did the noble thing by sending them back.
