LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky woman was in a sticky mess when she found stacks of boxes containing lollipops on her front doorstep. The surprise deliv- ery was ordered by her young son while he played on her phone.
Holly LaFavers says she tried stopping 8-year- old
Liam’s Amazon or der 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 car- nival,” 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 talk- ing 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 sur- prise delivery at home.
