Typically a guitar you ordered will get misplaced within the mail. Different instances it will get by chance delivered to Jim Root of Slipknot even if you’re at the moment situated in Qatar. Shit occurs, proper?
In a now-deleted Reddit publish initially captured by MusicRadar, somebody who works on the US Air Base in Qatar ordered themselves a model new Jackson guitar from Sweetwater. Three weeks later and the particular person obtained an empty case wth no guitar, prompting the particular person to succeed in out to Sweetwater to see what was taking place. That is the place factor get bizarre.
“I contacted my gross sales rep and I obtained a semi-canned response, ‘Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience,’ with the added checking with the warehouse and delivery departments to attempt to work out the place the guitar is,” wrote the particular person. “Now I’m impatiently awaiting a monitoring quantity or phrase of the place the guitar is.””
Sadly the USPS monitoring quantity supplied went lifeless and the guitar appeared misplaced… till it wasn’t. “All hope was misplaced in recovering it and I used to be ready for one more one to get in inventory when my gross sales engineer emailed me this,” learn a follow-up publish with a screenshot of an e-mail that learn: “Hey (identify redacted), you would possibly snigger somewhat. For some motive, the publish workplace shipped your guitar to Jim Root of Slipknot. We’re engaged on the answer now.”
No phrase on if the particular person obtained their guitar (hopefully signed by Root), however I believe the larger query right here is how the hell did this get to Jim Root? Mysteries abound, and hopefully we’ll get some decision. Or that particular person at the least will get their guitar.
