Redditor sent empty box instead of Ryzen 5 9600X from Amazon... twice

One exceedingly unlucky Redditor ordered a Ryzen 5 9600X on Amazon only to have an empty box show up instead. After getting a refund and purchasing a second AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, that too seemed to be an empty box. Third time's the charm?

Posting to the PC Build subreddit, user No-Yak9776 says they mistakenly ordered from a third-party seller named "The Tech Group", but the order was fulfilled on Amazon. The user says they work at a PC shop that orders a lot of its tech through Amazon, and just happens to record unboxing videos for this specific purpose. That's pretty lucky, as without that evidence, getting a refund could be tough.

Naturally, you take some risk buying from unknown third-party sellers, even if they are shipped via Amazon. It's even pretty easy to order from a third-party seller by accident, as you have to click into a listing, then check the 'Sold By' section on the right-hand side just to check if it's actually sold by Amazon. And, in this case, the Ryzen 5 9600X from The Tech Group is shipped from Amazon, which suggests someone in the Amazon warehouse checked the CPU before sending it out.

This isn't to say that The Tech Group has intentionally sent out empty boxes (though two in a row certainly isn't a good track record, and someone complained about being sent an empty box from this company back in 2024 too). All I can say is that, if I were buying a CPU, I'd look for Amazon as the seller.
