    I just received my aspire one from a reputable online vendor. It came straight in an acer box saying contains x2 unites. I opened it to find two aspire one boxes. I only ordered 1. Did anyone else have this happen?

    What probably happened is that when ordering you clicked the submit button twice so it added 2 units to your account lol. Happened to me before. check your bill

    I had the exact same thing happen to me...and after a day of deep consideration, I decided I needed a fat deposit in the karma bank. So I called the vendor and shipped it back. They were very nice (imagine that, lol) and gave me 50$ off my next order. They had no idea they had given me two of them, and were quite supprised.

    I was not billed twice, although they charged m 8lbs for shipping, i figued it was just a lot of packaging before it got here. No, I won't send it back, they screwed up and it isn't my problem. I will end up selling it and putting the money into savings since i am moving in with my girl.

    Well it took all my willpower, and a lot of help from my wife! I certainly can't blame you for keeping it, believe me I wanted to...one for testing and one for using...or just sell it...lol I wonder how many people got two and just won't speak up...
