Bill Chili's and Kelly, a couple living in Alamosa, Colorado, USA , bought a Sony digital SLR camera, the α1, from Amazon for work. The α1 is sold for 880,000 yen including tax on Sony's official online store, but it seems that it was sold for 7,000 dollars (about 770,000 yen) on Amazon. However, what arrived at the couple was an empty box with nothing inside.
The Denver Channel, a local media, interviewed Mr. and Mrs. Bill, who had decided to purchase an empty box for about 770,000 yen, and the following movie talks about their feelings at that time.

In southern Colorado, he takes every photo he has when he has the opportunity to take a photo, such as a wedding or graduation ceremony. Therefore, photographers are widely used as a side business for farmers in the area. Mr. and Mrs. Bill, who purchased a camera from Amazon, are also working as a cameraman as a side business.
'I've bought some cameras on Amazon so far, but I've had no problems so far,' Bill said.
Mr. Bill bought the Sony α1 as a tool for his side business. 'It's a camera with a large data capacity of 50.1 million pixels and capable of AF / AE tracking high-speed continuous shooting at a maximum of 30 frames / second.' 'I like to stay on the cutting edge of the times,' Bill said. The reason for the purchase is listed.
Due to the global shortage of semiconductors, it took about two months to ship α1 on Amazon.
And finally α1 arrived. For some reason, there are two α1 packages ...
The contents of this package were empty. 'I've heard that this happens with deliveries from third-party vendors, but I've never heard of such cases with Amazon official purchases,' Bill said.
In addition, Mr. Bill said that he asked Amazon for a refund, but Amazon responded that 'the camera has been verified and cannot be refunded.' In addition, Mr. Bill who contacted Amazon customer support for refund support said, 'There is nothing I can do for you, so I will disconnect from you' and it seems that I was disconnected.
When Bill checked the delivery history of the UPS, which is in charge of delivering Amazon products, the weight of the delivered product was 2 pounds (about 910 g).
However, according to Sony's official website, the package weight of the α1 is 3 pounds (about 1.4 kg). Therefore, Mr. Bill says, 'Someone stole α1 at some point.'
Bill reportedly filed a damage report with the local police and contacted The Denver Channel to challenge Amazon's claim for payment, which made this interview possible.
When The Denver Channel contacted Amazon, the company responded that it had 'started an investigation.'
