WESTPORT, Mass. — A Massachusetts woman is using her daughter's accidental purchase of thousands of dollars worth of Amazon items as a teachable moment for the young girl.
Jessica Nunes said she gave her cellphone to her 5-year-old daughter, Lila, so that she could play games on the device during a drive home. But Lila somehow got onto Amazon and ordered more than $3,000 worth of goods.
Lila's Amazon order included 10 kid's motorcycles, 10 pairs of cowgirl boots and a two-seat kid's Jeep. Thanks to Amazon's two-day shipping, it did not take long for Nunes' front porch to get filled up with packages.
"(The kid's motorcycles) were actually nonreturnable, originally, but I had reached out to Amazon at 2 o'clock in the morning and I was like: 'Please, is there anything we can do?!'" Nunes said.
Lila admitted that she will be sad once all of the items are returned to Amazon, but her mother told her that if she behaves and does her chores, she would replace the motorcycles with a bicycle that is more geared toward her age range.
