But they have to be in stacks no more than 4 high due to their tendency to tip over, so it might be more than one crate required.

"Welcome to the Soap-of-the-Week Club! Every week we'll send you some tiny bars of soap in a little stack. You may not revoke your membership."

And some of them have to be very moist.

#9Part of me thinks this was faked/exaggerated at the time, except...
Once on Amazon, I ordered an open tent. Basically, it is just an aluminum frame, 12 feet×12, 8 feet high, with canvas, to keep the sun off when presenting things at outdoor events.
The one I received took 5 weeks to arrive, and was supposed to be new. But it was used, with scruff marks on the posts. I sent pics, and said "Hey, this is supposed to be new! What gives!!"
An immediate "Sorry" with a "We have shipped a replacement." was the response. Really, all I wanted was a discount, mostly to compensate me for the paint I needed to buy.
But OK, I said thanks. And waited.
8 weeks later, I again contacted them. "Where is my replacement? Do you have a tracking number? It has not arrived yet."
Another immediate response, "We have shipped you a replacement..."
Whatever, I think. Scam, I think.
1 week later, it arrives. I notice the ship date, and realise it was the original replacement.
Worried, I contact them, and explain that the first replacement had arrived, all is good, it was just late, can they cancel the replacement's replacement?
I received a response "We have shipped a replacement."
And yes, I now have 4 of the things. I did not try to contact them again, for fear of ending up with more.
They got 5 stars though.

Did anyone else click on the link expecting a rant about the soap protocol?
