Not Amazons fault, not the fault of a store clerk when it happens in store either. Cam't expect them to know everything or the difference from one Cap to the next. And with the ultra rare exception, packinging errors are usually worth less than the correct version. BUT judging from your description it was not an error , just someone trying to scam amazon.

I've been burned by this a few times, And Amazon may start to get nasty after a few times. Important to know. Amazon tracks goods by highly precise weight, And they log everything. If the package that returned to them had a different weight then the one tyhey sent it flags. If the one they sent you weighed differently then the product baseline, it flags. etc. They log all of this. So they can tell where the problem occurred.
