**Mother’s Shocking Amazon Order: 70,000 Dum-Dum Lollipops Billed to Her Account**
A Kentucky woman was left stunned and amused after discovering that her young son had secretly placed a massive order on Amazon, purchasing a whopping 70,000 Dum-Dum lollipops, valued at approximately $4,200.
The incident occurred when the mother, who wishes to remain anonymous, handed her phone to her son to play with during a recent weekend. Unbeknownst to her, the child had accessed her Amazon account and placed the enormous order.
“I was completely unaware of what had happened until I received an email from Amazon confirming the order,” the mother told local news. “I was shocked and couldn’t believe my eyes. Seventy thousand lollipops? It was like something out of a movie!”
The massive order, which included a variety of Dum-Dum flavors, was scheduled for delivery to the family’s home. The mother quickly contacted Amazon’s customer service, hoping to cancel the order or make arrangements to return the lollipops.
Amazon’s policy on canceling and refunding orders varies depending on the situation. In this case, the company worked with the mother to resolve the issue, offering to cancel the order and provide a refund.
“We understand that accidental orders can happen, and we’re committed to providing excellent customer service,” an Amazon spokesperson said. “We’re working with the customer to resolve the issue and prevent similar situations in the future.”
The mother was relieved that Amazon was willing to work with her to resolve the issue. “I’m just glad that Amazon was understanding and willing to help us out,” she said. “It was a crazy situation, but it could have been much worse.”
As for the lollipops, the family has decided to donate them to local food banks and charities. “We’re turning a potentially sticky situation into something positive,” the mother said with a laugh.
The incident serves as a reminder for parents to be vigilant about their online accounts and to take steps to prevent accidental purchases. “It’s a good lesson for all of us to be more mindful of our online activity and to keep a close eye on our children when they’re using our devices,” the mother advised.
In the meantime, the family will be enjoying a sweet surprise, albeit not by design. As for the mother, she’s making sure to keep a closer eye on her phone – and her Amazon account.
