5 Years Old Orders Herself $3K Worth Of Gifts From Amazon

[RAMROD 87,044]

It was quite a shock for a Massachusetts mom when thousands of dollars’ worth of Amazon packages started arriving on her doorstep earlier this week.

The culprit was a feisty 5-year-old who had momentary access to mom’s phone.

Lila Varisco, 5, said she bought 10 motorcycles “Cause I wanted one.”

What Lila wants, Lila gets.

“She ordered five pink motorcycles, five blue motorcycles, 10 pairs of cowgirl boots and a jeep,” the girl’s mom, Jessica Nunes, said.

Lila ordered over $3,000 worth of goodies herself, and her mom said she didn’t have a clue - all thanks to Amazon.

“You just press the yellow button, and you press the brown button,” the girl said.

Nunes said she remembers giving Lila her phone to play some games in the car, or so she thought.

“I had looked back at the time. It was around 9:30, which is exactly when we were in the car,” Nunes said. “So wasn’t fraudulent. It was just this one. The bikes and the Jeep came out to about $3,180. The boots alone were about $600.”

And thanks to Amazon’s two-day shipping, Lila’s ill-gotten gains arrived in no time at all.

“These were actually non-returnable originally, but I had reached out to Amazon at two o’clock in the morning, and I was like, ‘Please, is there anything that we can do?’” Nunes said.

They eventually obliged and sent the return labels, and she was able to cancel those cowboy boots before they left the warehouse.

“We still have a giant two-seat Jeep coming in as well that I couldn’t cancel the order, but they are going to let me return it,” Nunes said.

The fact a 5 year old today can understand how to go to the website, order it and that it will show up in ur door step after a day or two.

 

Our generation is so out of sync. When I was 5 I had never even heard the word internet or computer

 

I didn't even know of the concept of a home delivery (even tho it already existed but was so much more rare)

 

As far as I was concerned the only possible way to get an item was to drive and go to the store

This is scary. The new generation of kids learn to use technology and the Internet before they speak their first word. 

I'm so glad I grew up in the 80s when none of that sh*t existed and that my mind was not contaminated by technology as a child.

I get this is supposed to be funny or whatever but honestly there is just such a shitty vibe to this.

My sister is a lot younger than me (she's 13) and I can already see how her brain is fried from tik Tok

girl has no taste please, cowboy boots? these has been out of fashion since Joanne

10 motorcycles and a Jeep for $3000? How?

[RenegAde 15,097]

I hate how conversions like this always turn into people bashing technology and the new generation like ours was so much better. Just because we didn't have the access to do something like this as children doesn't mean we didn't do things that were equally as dumb.  This is why kids require full supervision,  thankfully the mum noticed early enough and got her money back  but yall need to chill with the technology bashing as if yall don't spend your day scrolling through tik tok and gagadaily too

this is eventually going to happen in my family. my mom lets her granddaughter shop on amazon all the time. same with my grandma with my cousin's kids. they let them add and remove items from the cart, but they haven't figured out how to finalize an order... yet.

I've told them about stories exactly like this to get them to stop, but they still allow them to do it.

This right here. Even though I agree with both statements, this situation has nothing to do that right now. It's just a kid thing. Kids do dumb things...

I mean... the fact that she didn't even notice $3,000 dollars missing from her main account until the packages started arriving gives me full permission to laugh at this
