Amazon Sends Hundreds of Packages By Mistake

A woman in New York received hundreds of packages from Amazon for days without placing an order. Watch our latest video to learn more about this story.

Jillian Cannan  is a woman living in New York. She said that since 5th June, she had been receiving hundreds of packages from Amazon for days without placing an order. The boxes were piled up so high that her neighbours could not see the front door of her residence. When she opened some of the boxes, she found that they contained thousands of silicone support frames to use inside face masks. Each package was addressed to Ms Cannan's home, no return address was marked on them. She initially thought maybe it was a prank or someone trying to clear out their warehouse.

She then contacted the customer support service of Amazon to inform them about the mistake and return the items. But Amazon executives explained to her that the items were officially hers as they had been delivered to her address, she said. Later Amazon was able to trace the original owner of the packages. However, Amazon told Ms Cannan that she would have to keep the items already delivered or those that were in transit. Ms Cannan was then thinking what she would do with so many silicone support frames. So she has decided to donate them to a local hospital.
