New York PC Shop Gets Two Empty Ryzen 5 9600X Boxes From Amazon Seller

The double empty deliveries signal gaps in third‑party seller oversight and threaten businesses that rely on Amazon for high‑value inventory.

Overview

  • The shop says it received two separate Amazon‑fulfilled orders for an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X with the processor missing, and the co‑owner recorded both unboxings and captured security‑camera footage of the opened packages.
  • The orders came from a third‑party seller called The Tech Group with fulfillment by Amazon, and none of the published reports include a response from Amazon or the seller.
  • After filing a refund for the first empty box the store reordered the CPU and received a second empty retail box within 72 hours, which the shop says helped it secure refunds both times.
  • The store relies on Amazon Business Prime for most of its stock, about $10,000 a month, and says the repeated incidents leave it worried about supply disruption and potential account scrutiny.
  • Reporters place this case in a wider pattern of missing or wrong items from marketplace sellers and advise buying from trusted sellers or manufacturers and recording unboxings as proof for disputes.
