No but take comfort from the knowledge that if they did and you had actually bought some they would caution you about buying more. 

 

What happened was I received an email that my knife was out for delivery.  I waited (pretty much) patiently near the door with a note to UPS on said door to the effect that someone was home and to please make a lot of noise.  Long about 4:30 pm I received an email that my knife had been delivered to my front door.  I went downstairs and searched around outside to find my knife misdelivered to the wrong address.

 

Mildly annoying.  Much worse, the UPS driver did not pick up the USB microscope I was returning to amazon, as mentioned on another knife thread:

I don't have a vehicle and the microscope is too bulky for me to carry to a UPS pickup location.  Normally I am a cheerful and forgiving person but I lost it with the UPS digital assistant, who should be waterboarded, unplugged and shot.*  Once I reached an actual UPS human I was of course not rude but I am left in a most unpleasant frame of mind by the incident.  They put little street numbers on UPS shipping labels for a reason.

 

Worse still, in these days of war and famine, pestilence and death, I am left feeling ashamed and petty.  Which is what my new knife was.

 

 

*In that order
