Well, some pretty upsetting news today. I received my package from Amazon that was supposed to contain the PP1, the Super Fine Ceramics, and the 1/.5 micron strops, only…there was no PP1 in the box. Just a solid black paperstone base with cardboard corners, wrapped in bubble wrap with a little sticker on top that said “Wicked Edge Pro Pack 1”. Strops were there. But no Wicked Edge. Really pretty upsetting to say the least. I knew I should have ordered it straight from WEPS.
I spoke to Bob at Oldawan, the Amazon seller you purchased from, this morning. He’s pretty upset about it too. Apparently he uses Amazon fulfillment, so they stock his inventory and fulfill orders for him. Here are some of the crazy details he shared: Normally the PPI ships in one box. Somehow a box got broken in the warehouse and put back together by Amazon people. Instead of putting the items in one box again, they put them in two and labeled each the same. To make matters even more confusing, Bob doesn’t sell the black Paperstone bases, so not only did Amazon mix things up with his inventory, they also combined his Wicked Edge inventory with that of another seller. Apparently someone just got the sharpener portion of his order while you got the base. That customer is pretty upset too. Unfortunately, Bob can’t fix the situation himself as everyone has to wait on Amazon to resolve it…
