I would have loved to hear you defend this in front of small claims court.
"Your honour the plaintiff (customer) is an idiot because he misplaced a comma, causing him to increase the amount of money sent by ten fold, thus the company is completely in it's right to hold onto ten times the money they were owed because they cannot be held liable for the mistakes of others."
"Your honour the plaintiff (company) made an honest mistake by writing in the wrong name, thus the plaintiff (company) is completely in it's right to demand a return of the goods because we all make mistakes right? If we set such a precedent then companies could just refuse to correct errors in shipping or refuse to refund people that overpaid for their goods."
Double standards much?
Company makes mistake by FILLING THE WRONG NAME AND ADDRESS! -> Honest mistake
Customer makes mistake by misplacing ONE PUNCTUATION MARK! -> Fuck the customer
I just thought of an even funnier example. You know of a little concept called change? It's what you get when you give a store too much money, they open the register and give you back the difference. Basically you overpay for your items, something that has been going on for roughly several millennia, and you get the money you overpaid back. It's basically done everywhere when paying with physical money.
What I wouldn't give to make you live by your own logic.
"Gives 20$ to store clerk for a 15,99 item. Waiting for his 4$ in change. Store clerk tells him to take a hike because it's his own stupid fault he didn't pay 15,99 in exact pennies."
It's people like you that ensured we lost as many consumer rights as we did.
