A photography duo from Alamosa, Colorado recently ordered a Sony Alpha 1 camera from Amazon as an investment in their business in a transaction that they report cost them more than $7,000. But instead of receiving the new camera, the two only found empty boxes.

In an interview with The Denver Channel, Bill and Kelly Chiles said that they ordered the new camera because they believed the high resolution combined with the high frame rate appealed to their wedding, senior photo, and graduation photography business. While the model number of the camera is never explicitly stated by The Denver Channel, the specifications that the two note match up with Sony’s latest flagship.

Due to what is being blamed on the global microchip shortage, the two waited for almost two months before the camera finally shipped. Unfortunately, when it arrived, Bill Chiles said he opened the package only to find two camera boxes inside, both empty.

Worse, Chiles found that Amazon insisted that the package had been properly delivered, verified, and refused to issue him a refund. When speaking to an Amazon representative, his problems were dismissed.
