Ever get accidental bonuses with orders?

[cdschoonie]

I opened a new bag of Starline brass, that had 4 new primers in the bottom. I know it’s accidental or there would have been a 100 pack instead of just 4 random ones. I didn’t know Starline made primers, maybe they use them in testing?

Yes I know, 4 primers, whoopee! But for a guy that never wins anything, much less get any kind of breaks, it’s pretty awesome for me HAHA!

Anyone else ever get accidental bonuses with UPS, FedEx, or USPS presents?

Hot Wheels people are notorious for sending people a "RAOK" so you ALWAYS gotta check the box for extras (or not be surprised if a totally random box shows up with something you collect). (RAOK=Random Act of Kindness)

I did order a case (250 rounds) of Sig 9mm 147gr HP ammo and few MPX mags direct from Sig, and when I got the box there was all that as well as 2 P365 mags in the box.

It got more strange with that new bag of Starline. I found 3 additional primers, but these were installed in cases. Odd, but now I’m definitely leaning towards, these were possibly set to be used in testing. Could’ve been accidentally installed thinking they were going for testing, then just bagged up, primers and all. I’ve worked in manufacturing a time or two, and stuff like this definitely happens. You get in a hurry, grab the wrong stock, package it up and off it goes. The things I worked with in mfg, were larger items, when it was thought or proven that the wrong items were packaged, it was fairly easy to open, check the product, and reseal. Things as small as brass, much less primers, would be much more difficult, and the employee could just roll the dice and ship it.

I sometimes get a free string of little air pillows...

Every time I order a new box of Lapua brass, I get one extra. My last 6.5 LRP lot had two extra!

I'm pretty happy when I get that extra single bullet or piece of brass in an order. I think that if I stared a reloading business I'd make the "one extra" a practice.

Now if I can only get an extra couple of ounces of powder...

Exact same here. My last purchase of 100 Lapua 6.5CM LRP's had 102 in the box.

I had a contact at Honeywell Tech Support. Every time I got a replacement part for a BOB, bad-out-of-box, he included a hard candy, kind of a professional apology. I guess that's why I was 20 pounds overweight.

I got a yellow laffy taffy with an order from anarchy outdoors when I ordered some CZ parts once. I thought that was nifty.

I ordered a set of grips for a wheelgun about 15 years ago, and the “shipping spacers” they sent in the box were leather ammo pouches that looked like they were WWII vintage.
