Local stores bullshit too, I was at a well known American ‘sporting goods’ store and got an exercise ball of 75cm size (it states on box), it is fully pumped and smaller than a 55cm ball that I have. When purchasing online I’ve had better luck Caveat emptor

Just so we're clear: are you having an issue with the size of the balls at Dicks[0]? [0] https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/

An easy solution - open the package when the delivery person comes or when you pick it up from the delivery office. The delivery person can take a photo and act as a witness. If you take the package from the local delivery office, there are cameras and staff, so I can't just swap a ripe apple for a rotten one.

No one is willing to pay for this. Bloom’s 2 sigma problem is from 1984 . MOOCs were the hope for education but that didn’t take off either.
