Anyone else get the wrong board?

Discussion

Ordered a Mini X on day 1, today I got a Mini S in the mail. Kinda peeved as I bet the turnaround time on getting my real board is not going to be quick.

Anyone else have this happen? Hopefully I'm just an anomaly.

This happened to me too! Somebody linked my post above. I haven't heard back from Boosted yet. Have you heard from them on how long it's gonn take?

I left them a voicemail, that's the best I can do at this point. Hopefully u/boostedboards can get their stuff together and make it happen this week. I sincerely doubt it though.

Surely we can't be the only ones. I bet we'll see more of these posts before the end of the week.

Pretty sure this doesn't apply here, as the designation of "S" and "X" are variations of an ordered piece of merchandise.

To try and scam them out of an extra board is unethical and pretty fucking scummy.

Moreover, you actually trying that shit is only to fuck things up for other customers who need help from Boosted, and they'll simply increase their stringency on (e.g.) warranty help, out of warranty help, sending out parts, etc.

So I hope you're joking. If you're not, fuck off.

Oh, I'm sure that amidst their scramble to ship orders out and answer service and warranty claims alongside managing PR they are ramping up their Mini S/X scam operations to weasle an extra couple hundred from a few people to supplement the already massive amount of income they're getting as they expand their company. Makes total sense.

Or...it could have been a shipping error among the hundreds of boards they send out at a time. Far less likely, but also possible.

Is it their problem to fix? Absolutely.

However looking up that FTC regulation on you and the other S recipient being able to keep an extra board shows a very unfortunate mindset that only harms other customers.

I hope it works out for you man, I honestly do.

Is it possible it's an S with the wrong color wheels on it? Top speed and range test to be sure.... >:)

It visually has the extended range battery or it doesn't

I think you missed the big wink and the foot stomp there. Yes. The battery would be labeled with a watt hour rating. And I’m riding whatever they send me, while I wait for them to make it right.

Depending on your jurisdiction they have to get you your original order or refund in full. And you don’t have the obligation to return the S. I mean if you want to stick it up to them you could have a free board. But goddamn boosted please get shipping together.

I will be p*ssed if I waited all this time for an X and got an S. I have no desire to own an S.
