Woman Thinks She Hacked Amazon By Ordering A Ton Of Free Carpet Samples, Regrets It Immediately

I may be too harsh but I just really can't applaud this circumventing (hope I've used this word correctly) of the system. Nothing is ever free, I like that you can order a sample for free but doing these type of things will not exactly motivate anyone to provide this service in the future...

So in other word you got....wait for it... *carpet burn*

Definitely and ethical issue. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

My Mother carpeted five, no six, rooms of our house by collecting carpet scraps from the carpet stores in our town, and I, as a kid, helped her lay it in patterns. It looked great! It was just my Mom, me and three sisters so my mother had to be resourceful as we had little money. She did a fantastic job.

Seems like she ruined it for everyone who just needs a few samples to decide which they really want for a large area, I looked and could not find a sample under $5

Try also donating them to daycares, preschools or kindergartens. I've seen them used as kids mats for circle time.

So basically stupid cheap person decides to celebrate her both cheapness and her stupidity by doing a post on bored panda.....

disgusting.

First, this woman obviously knew what she was doing. Second, congratulations on ruining a useful service for people who actually were considering making a purchase. Third, this was free only to you- it cost quite a bit to ship you all of those samples. Fourth- you made a bad situation worse by telling others how they too could be a narcissistic, self-indulgent, avaricious, attention whore. But hey- screw everyone else as long as you get what you want right? You're not funny, you're not clever, what you are is an a**hole.

This makes me ill. As an interior designer I always have stacks of carpet samples and fabrics to get rid of. I mostly give them to schools and artists, but would gladly give them free of charge to anyone that asks! If anyone is thinking about doing what this woman has done, please hit up a local designer or architect. They would probably welcome the chance to clean up their office!

When you go in to a carpet shop and say 'could I have a sample' and they reply with 'we don't do that anymore you have buy them'.... This is why! selfish, cheap, moronic idiots. It might be free to her but it will eventually cost everyone else!

I honestly thought this was going to be a story about how they couldn't afford to carpet there room and by using the free samples they now have unique flooring but no it was a stupid woman abusing the system

FYI you can no longer get free fabric or rug swatches on Amazon thanks to this woman's actions - they stopped being offered within 24 hours of this article being posted. I had ordered 3 rug samples and 2 fabric samples while buying Amazon furniture for my house. When i tried to order 2 more fabric samples soon thereafter, the swatches were no longer available. After spending a lot of time trying to figure out why, I came across this article. I think any reasonable person would have anticipated that abusing that system and then bragging about it on the internet would cause the system to collapse. Waste is not cool, laughing about the needless work you are causing your postal worker to do is not cool, being completely oblivious to the consequences of your own actions is not cool, and bragging about your own selfishness is definitely not cool.

Stupidity shouldn't be celebrated

Thanks to this greedy b***h, you now have to pay for carpet samples on Amazon.

She didn't "hack" Amazon. SMH It was free. She ordered it. How is that hacking? I ordered a pizza from Dominos today. Does that mean I hacked them? No. Who writes this stuff?

Waw, with the packaging and shipping, it's not good for the environment lady.

People like you will ruin stuff for others in the future. Now it's just waiting till online shops limit the amount of samples you can order because of retards like these... thx! Yeah lets celebrate this on the blog here.

Only in America....

Sorry but it is Not funny..if anything it's a discussion behavior... I feel so sorry for the poor delivery man and also this Waste of plastic packaging for the environment..what a shame! and to top it all shes taking a proud picture of herself..

Not only does this woman know that these things come out of profit from selling carpet... so the consumer pays for it.. she has no intention of bying anything... so she makes cost go up for everyone else.. and there is no possible way she ordered that many free samples without knowing she was going overboard. Period \

This is borderline fraud.

Wow.. she really did not think this through. Poor decision.

Ugh. This is gross. This is exactly why most companies DON'T give away samples anymore. Greedy, selfish people ruin it for the rest of us. I'm in a state of disbelief that she's proud...or maybe I'm not. People suck.

They were giving them away for free so I don't see the problem in her getting abunch to make cat scratchers, even to go overboard I don't think that's too terrible. But then she has to go on social media and brag about it and go on about it so much, she's going to ruin it for everyone else in order to get attention for herself. So frickin selfish. Just shut up, get off social media and make some scratchers and play with your cat. I also think her carrying on about the delivery guy not happy. His job is delivering packages, i hardly think he'd he'd be unhappy about packages to deliver.

So she wasted all these people's time and money for no reason whatsoever. How selfish do you have to be to think that because someone offers a free service that it is "free." They still have to pay for the product, postage and wages and are hoping to get business from decent honest people. Not supple someone just using their generosity without ever thinking of buying.

lucky kitties!

How did she do it? I am trying to carpet the tent I am currently living in and cannot find any sort of cheap option...

I love that she donated the extras to the shelter! <3

when i was a little girl my mom went to a carpet store they were throwing out old swatches she asked if she could have them and she sewed them together by hand and made a patchwork quilt rug you could always do that with em and sell them then you could make a little profit.......

Donate them to your local Elementary schools they use them for projects !

The title was misleading. She never regretted ordering these. In fact, she offered to show anyone how to do it. Lame.

Sew them together to make rugs!

Absolutely no ethics at all. As if she will really donate it away. Please. Ruining this service for people who truly want to purchase. She seems so proud of herself too. What a horrible lady. Again this is why we cannot have nice things.

Sew bits and pieces of carpet together and sell them as decorative rugs! :D
