Woman Receives Hundreds Of Amazon Packages By Mistake

After Amazon refused to take back the packages, the woman thought that this was either a scam or someone trying to clear out their warehouses

A woman in New York had been receiving hundreds of packages from Amazon for days without placing an order. She received several boxes a day, which piled up so high that her neighbours could not see the front door of her residence. Jillian Cannan said the boxes began arriving at her address on June 5, on delivery trucks. She initially thought her business partner ordered them but after receiving thousands of items that she did not want, she started thinking of it as a scam or someone trying to clear out their warehouse. When she first began receiving the boxes, she contacted the customer support service of the online giant to inform them about the mistake and return the items. She even posted about the situation on her Facebook account. But Amazon executives explained to her that the items were officially hers as they had been delivered to her address, she said. When she opened some of the boxes, she found that they contained thousands of silicone support frames to use inside face masks in both adult and children's sizes, NBC News reported. In the meantime, parcels continued to arrive at her doorstep. While each package was addressed to Ms Cannan's home, no return address was marked on them. She then began searching the tracking numbers and scanning barcodes to understand what was going on.
