A New York-based woman has been living with worry after Amazon decided to keep dispatching items she did not order to her home.
YEN.com.gh has learnt the lady, who goes by Jillian Cannan has been receiving hundreds of packages she had not ordered from Amazon.
According to Fox 2 Detroit, Jillian who own a small business dubbed Loaded Lumber said she is used to receiving packages at her home, but this time, the deliveries had not been requested by her.
Jillian told the press that from June 5, 2021, she has been receiving packages neither her nor her business partner ordered from the online platform.
She noted that she was shocked at first but calmed down when she heard that people have been receiving packages they had not ordered randomly.
The businesswoman added that the packages, face mask brackets kept coming in plenty over the next few days in a move that now got her even worried and concerned.
"My business partner and I always order things from Amazon and it’s usually shipped to my house and then I bring it into the studio. The first set of packages came and I opened it, not even looking at the name, thinking that it was something that she (Cannan’s business partner) would have ordered," Cannan told FOX TV Stations.
Jillian disclosed that she decided to contact Amazon when the packages did not stop being delivered to her.
She was, however, told by Amazon staff to hold on to the packages as they tried to get to the bottom of the matter.
Amazon said they would work on it but the packages did not stop coming.
As days went on, the frequency of the deliveries started to increase.
She revealed that she would receive about three to four deliveries a day, with all packages carrying face mask brackets.
The orders were coming from every delivery company, including USPS, UPS and Amazon Direct, Jillian told the media.
Seeing as how she did not need the nearly 100,000 face mask brackets she had amassed over several days, Jillian thought it wise to put them to use.
The lady decided to seek the help of Amazon to donate more items to create the kits and then give them away to local children’s hospitals for free.
The business lady noted that she hopes she can get the kits together in the next couple of weeks and have them donated to local children’s hospitals in her area.
