An engineering student at the University of Liverpool accidentally received more than 50 packages (and counting, last we heard) worth more than $5,600 due to a computer glitch from Amazon.
The packages started coming to 22-year-old Robert Quinn’s family home in Bromley, South London, and have included a 55-inch Samsung 3D TV, a Galaxy Pro tablet and baby buggy. Oh, and our personal favorite, a pirate costume.
He tried to return it, but Amazon said to keep it.
The best part? Quinn says he’s going to use proceeds from selling some of the products to help him develop an electrical cannabis grinder.
“I was worried that people were losing out on their stuff, so I phone Amazon again and said, ‘I’m happy to accept these gifts if they are footing the cost, but I’m not happy if these people are going to lose out,'” Quinn told the Daily Mail. “But Amazon said, ‘It’s on us.’ ”
In light of his recent windfall, Quinn says he will donate some of the products and sell a few back on Amazon, which will also fund a trip to Bruges with his girlfriend. Amazon is having quite the season in the UK this year, with thousands also boycotting the retail giant.
All we can say is we can’t wait to find that cannabis grinder on Amazon.
