Well I don't know that this is weird. Just stupid.
I needed to order some telephones. So I dropped an email to our sales rep at a particular company and he ordered them for me. (We have a special corporate account with this company. For reasons that make no sense to me our special corporate price is sometimes much higher than the prices in this company's retail stores; when this happens, I have to complain to our sales rep and he manually places the order some way that gets around this problem--what a stupid arrangement. Don't get me started. But that was the deal with these phones.) These are pretty generic basic $25 speakerphones, suitable for placement in a lounge, hallway, or other public area where they may be subject to vandalism or theft.
When my 8 telephones arrived today, they turned out to be non-basic four-line phones with built-in answering machines. At $185 a pop.
I swear, some days I want to lock all my vendors in a room and see who comes out alive.
