... And you've probably at least partially guessed what had happened.
They'd delivered a fridge.
I hope she realised this before she assembled it.
(... or did she assemble it wrong??? them little pieces all look the same.)

Took it home and once I finished assembling it, I realized that it had become a bike! Plus the box was missing half a dozen dowels, three screws and a MiG-21!

I was worried that that might be what happened, but then I realised that it was impossible, because she'd never buy a pink bike.

... she wanted a fridge and told you she was ordering a "bike"

So, all jokes aside did you check the confirmation email to ensure it was supposed to be a bike? And I'm assuming the vendor will be paying for the return shipping to correct their obvious error.
Honestly that has to be one of the most bizarre shipping mix-ups I've encountered. Most of mine are of the "Ordered a pair of sunglasses was sent the wrong size, color, and style. I couldn't wear them but hey! At least you got the sunglasses part correct." variety.

I got an e-mail an hour ago, telling me that they're very sorry and they're now sending a bike.
Or a doll's house.
Or a jar of leg wax. Who knows?
Now that I've seen the box, though, I've become highly suspicious.
The packing list/invoice is missing, torn off, and the address label looks like it's been peeled off of another box and taped on.
So some smartarse has got herself an expensive bike for the price of a cheap fridge, because Lidl won't bother to investigate -- they'll just blame the devs who made the catalogue/ordering system

I once ordered pants from J C Penney, which was reflected on the confirmation email and the email upon shipment.
The box contained some pretty hefty DD bras. No pants.
I am a guy.
The CSR that issued the return info and I had a good laugh.
My wife had an even bigger laugh.

Try ordering fork handles.

With oak paneling it might age well.

Luckily there isn't Gin on box.
(I obviously haven't checked that. I don't want to know otherwise )

Forget about the gin, I want THIS ONE[^]
Imagine what it's gonna cost at Systembolaget. I'll probably have to hock the car, the house AND promise them my firstborn child (that's an easy promise, however, because me having children is never gonna happen)...

Whiskey (usquebaugh) itself means fire-water, I am told.
So, does this mean this firebox whiskey is 200 proof?
|

They call it whiskey, but it's more like whiskey-liqueur if you ask me.
But it's good, and you can get terribly drunk if you're not careful...

You're mean.
I tried to imagine the aiming group for that stuff, and now my mind has a picture of a purple haired tipsy old lady with a small dog named Tricky Woo.
