Lily Varisco, a 5 year old girl from West Port, Massachusetts, took advantage of the easy, buyer-friendly set up of the Amazon marketplace. On a car ride, Lily’s mom allowed for her to use her phone to play games on, but she had other plans.
Instead of playing meaningless games though, the 5 year old was busy making money moves. Lily had a pretty expensive taste in toys and fashion, spending around $3,500 dollars on battery powered motorcycles, a jeep, and a plethora of shoes.
It was only when the items were delivered to their home that the mother noticed the purchases. As much as Lily would have loved to keep her 10 motorcycles (I love that she got 5 blue ones and 5 pink ones) and her 10 pairs of cowgirl boots, her mom frantically tried to contact Amazon to make returns.
Originally, it didn’t look like the returns would be successful:
“These were all originally non-refundable so I reached out to Amazon at 2 in the morning and said ‘Please, is there anything we can do?'”
Amazon eventually agreed to take back all of the items considering the situation. Lily and her mom had to pack up all 10 of the motorcycles, and the shipment of all the cowgirl boots were able to be canceled before they were shipped out of the warehouse. The motorized Jeep was already on its way, but they plan to return that as well.
Props to Amazon for being understanding, and shoutout to Lily for trying to live her best life. The mom made sure she wasn’t too hard on her daughter for the mishap and instead plans to use the whole situation as a learning lesson for Lily:
“I had to tell her that maybe if she, you know, acts right and behaves, does some chores around the house, that we can get her a bike that is more geared towards her age range. One that’s a little slower maybe.”
I bet you think my dog didn’t order those Cuban cigars either....
;-)
I get back at our cat by ordering stuff for myself using the cat’s credit card.
Clear your cache.
To get them to shut up. (It's easier than interacting with them.)
Stupid mom should have simply REFUSED delivery.

That is not the way they work. Deliveries are made to you front door and they may or may not ring the door bell and they are often gone before you even get to the door.
Proof of delivery is a photo of the package by your door which is emailed to you (sometimes that is the only way I know a delivery has been made).
Having said that, I have never had a problem returning an item to Amazon.
“I had to tell her that maybe if she, you know, acts right and behaves, does some chores around the house, that we can get her a bike that is more geared towards her age range. One that’s a little slower maybe.”
Aww Hell No! This is basically rewarding the child for her misdeed.
Good question. Maybe mom did the ordering than realized she really could not afford the stuff so put the blame on her daughter to save herself in case returns were not usually allowed.
The problem is mama had an Amazon account.
