Has amazon ever sent you hotel chocolat as an apology?

[Christmascookiesmmmm]

Just trying to solve a mystery!
It’s my birthday in a few days and I got a lovely box of hotel chocolat chocolates (the H box) with no note saying who from through the post, from amazon.. naturally I assumed someone had surprised me with a lovely thoughtful gift since we’re in lockdown, but I’ve asked a few people who I thought it might be and it’s none of them.. so I wondered if amazon send out chocolates by way of an apology?! I recently returned a faulty laptop and they took a month to give a £800 refund and the customer service chat was appalling - they kept saying they'd escalated it but then no refund.. so wondering if it was them trying to make amends 😆
On the dispatch note it does say ‘we hope you enjoy your gift, we hope to see you again at amazon.co.uk’ . Is this something they do?!
Hate that I don’t know who it’s from and can’t thank them!

Humm that's an AIBU thread.

My in-laws send me chocolates ARE THEY ARE TRYING TO KILL ME?!

Just realised my closest friend tried to kill me last week :(

@Eckhart
That’s nothing my own son tried to kill me .

On Mother’s Day of all days !!

I'm sorry @Namechange8186 That's heartbreaking. Mine was on my birthday. I feel lucky to have survived, and really quite naive not to have spotted the assassination attempt...

@Eckhart oh on your birthday! that’s rough too

I wish someone would send me a fancy box of chocolates!

I would think it is from Amazon because of the note that was left.

It's from her partner's parents.

My local pub used to have "Death by Chocolate" on the restaurant menu - bloody gorgeous.
A customer made a complaint to the landlord, he'd given it to "the wife" & it hadn't worked.

Someone did once commit murder by chocolate: owlcation.com/humanities/Christiana-Edmunds-Victorian-Poisoner

I have just realised that I have been trying to kill my mother every week by posting her a bar of chocolate 🤦🏻‍♀️ It is the highlight of her week too!

I actually messaged Amazon recently because I had received an H box Hotel Chocolat AND Neutrogena handcream just days apart

The employee I chatted online with confirmed I hadn’t ordered these, that no-one had ordered these as a gift for me and that Amazon themselves often send ‘gifts’.

I don’t have their Prime service any more so I suspect it’s an incentive!!

Death by chocolate.

Well I’m off to make chocolate cake now (not trying to kill anyone).

Also sending someone chocolates during covid 19 times is a bit like killing them! Surely the last thing we need is chocolates given how many people are over weight.

Ooooo spoilers for Killing Eve series 4? How to assassinate during lockdown?

Lolling at giving someone a box of chocolates is killing them. I'm a teacher, I get like 20 boxes at the end of the year. My pupils must really hate me!!

Are you still alive though? Or posting from beyond the grave?
Do let us know what happens after death. I'm really interested.

scheff woohoo.... There's lots of chocolate on the other side......

We got a package from Amazon today of chocolates. A gift we discovered from family but when I saw it I kept telling my partner it was from Amazon. He thought I had gone mad.

Keep on doing you @xenia :o

Hotel chocolate is one of the few brands I'm willing to play the migraine Russian roulette with. I have a big bar of Tony chocolonely in the cupboard. Is that worth it, too?

I’m sure OP is delighted by the assumption that she’s overweight.

I look forward to seeing being prosecuted for attempted murder for sending their friends rescue packages of chocolate.

*seeing people being prosecuted

Ahh fuck, i sent my mum a gift basket with wine, chocolate & champagne. I hope she doesn't think I'm trying to kill her. To answer your question i had a dispute with Amazon last year & they sent me some expensive ear buds by way of an apology.

I send my best friend some biscuits, so hopefully I’ve only maimed him?
