Delivery failed, I’m expected to order again?

Hey guys,

I have this situation where the fault is entirely on me but the response is so weird that I need other opinions.

Basically I ordered some test from a supplier on this site. I’ve been going to him consistently for a few years now, so when I checked out, I hit auto fill and sent the payment.

Turns out that the autofill didn’t correctly fill all the areas of the address, so my package never came. Dumb mistake, I know, but I’ve done it so many times I didn’t think to double check.

I reached out to the supplier to let him know of my mistake, and he confirmed the package got kicked back. However, instead of offering to ship it back out to the corrected address, he offered me a discount on a repeat order.

I understand the mistake lies solely on me, but he didn’t lose money and I already paid for the gear? I’m willing to pay for the cost of shipping again, but to purchase the entire order completely?

Does this make sense to you guys? I’m genuinely scratching my head over this trying to see if I should just chalk it up to a learning point, or to see if I can talk some sense into this guy.

Absolutely makes sense as he didn’t get the pack back when it got kicked back so yes he would lose money if he reships it again because of your mistake. Did you really think sources use their real address for a return address? Honestly with it being your mistake you’re lucky he offered a discounted second order

Ah, see I knew I needed other opinions.

You’re right, it never dawned on me that they never got the package back. Thank you for pointing out my stupidity in logic.

I’m an idiot and I hope people learn from me.

Honestly you should be glad the source even offered a discount on another order. That is absolutely a generous offered as you really don't deserve anything, you screwed up the address the first time.

Sounds like a great source to offer something like that so I'd stick with them for sure.

Not a weird response. Double check your address next time. You aren't order Christmas cookies.
