For all of you consumers who spend a majority of your time doing your shopping online, there’s a good chance that you’ve experienced some form of transaction problems before. Either your package didn’t come when the tracking said it would, you got one less item that you ordered (or more than you ordered which is always nice), or in this case, you got something entirely different. Especially in the world’s current state of this COVID-19 crisis where much of our non-essential purchases are executed online, there’s bound to be more mistakes with the increased volume of shipments going out, and that was certainly the case for one lucky sneakerhead who recently made a pick-up from Foot Locker.
