So much for the “free” world power adapter…

A couple of weeks ago I posted about Daily Steals’ offer for a “free” world power adapter, though shipping was $4.99. I figured $10 for two world power adapters sounded like a great deal, so I placed my order without hesitation.

I was excited to see them arrive in the mail today, so I opened the package only to find that the adapter had more parts than an Airbus 380. I figured it was just a defect and the other one would be better, but nope, it was the same.

The adapter was supposed to look like this, but instead it looked like this:

Well, I guess at least now I know why the website is called “Daily Steals“…

Anyone else have the same experience?

have you asked for a refund? I use mine all the time and it came put together. I have had no issues with mine.

One of the adapters came broken. It was the one I already had a good one of, so I replaced the broken one with my other one. I guess I'll still e-mail them since a main part of the product was damaged when it arrived.

For what it's worth, I emailed them today and got a refund.

Me too, although not quite so many pieces. I managed to tape together the broken part and plan to use it in China next month.

The one from Amazon is almost identical to the one I carry--actually I carry two of them, which I got for free from Heathrow Airport for participating in the T5 preview trials. So I guess each cost me some time, but I got to see T5 before the public, so definitely worthwhile!
