It happened to me when I bought a new motherboard from Amazon (shipped and sold by Amazon, not Amazon Warehouse nor fulfilled by Amazon). I opened the motherboard box and inside was a 10-year old motherboard.
I knew this was a possibility when buying from Amazon Warehouse but didn't expect it when buying new directly from Amazon.

The notion that the United States does not depend on Saudi oil (or that it's energy independent) just because it's a net oil exporter is a myth. Not all crude oil is equal. The US has an abundance of light oil which it exports but it still imports a lot of heavy and sour oil from OPEC and Canada.[1]
