Holly LaFavers says she tried stopping 8-year-old Liam's Amazon
order for about 70,000 Dum-Dum suckers before the treats arrived
but it was too late.
Amazon had already delivered 22 cases to her home.
“He told me that he wanted to have a carnival, and he was
ordering the Dum-Dums as prizes for his carnival,” LaFavers
said. "Again, he was being friendly, he was being kind to his
friends.”
The surprise got worse after a quick check of her bank account.
She owed about $4,000 for the order.
“When I saw what the number was, I just about fainted,” LaFavers
said.
Then she found out that eight more cases from the order were
unaccounted for, she said. After a trip to the post office,
those cases were returned to sender, she said.
Her efforts to get a refund took a bit more time but she got her
money back.
“After a long day of working with the bank and talking to a few
news stations Amazon called and they are refunding my money,”
she said in a social media post.
LaFavers said she was changing some settings on her phone to
make sure there's never another surprise delivery at home.
