Google accidentally shipped 10 Pixel 4 phones instead of one. When it is coming to software, Google can handle it like a king. But, When it comes to dealing with hardware and support, sometimes this kind of mistake can happen.
The Story Behind Google Accidentally shipped 10 Pixel 4 Phones
A Redditor shared a complete story on how he got 10 Pixel 4 phones. He ordered a Pixel 4 64GB variant under the offer deal. Usually, Pixel 4 will be sold at $799. But in offer Google selling 64GB variant for $499. Pixel 4a launch is going to happen soon at the end of May 2020. So, Pixel 4 getting some deals. When he received the package, he suspects the package is enormous compared with the regular mobile package. When he opened the box, he surprised with ten 64 GB Pixel phones. As per the Federal law, when you got the order like that, you can keep them as a gift. But, He decided to return the package to Google with the remaining nine phones.
He contacted Google regarding the fortune box. Google also got surprised and made some arrangements with FedEx as per his return request. Again they made arrangements for the first eight phones as one package, and for the remaining one, they send tracking slip separately. When incidents happen like this, usually, Tech companies will add some credits to that customer. Google asks him to keep one phone with him. There are no additional details about the further steps from Google regarding that. The chances for the credits are high. Because Google always surprises Customers with gifts.
Can he keep the package?
Yes. As I mentioned earlier, as per the law, he can keep the package as a gift. Google can’t force the customer to return the package. Even if there is no law, Google won’t do the forced return. Because of that’s how they work..:)
