Christmas came early to a college student in London when Amazon accidently sent $5,000 worth of products to his house.
Robert Quinn, 22, started receiving various products from strollers to televisions to his family's home in south London.
The packages were addressed to Quinn, although they also donned return labels. Quinn, who is studying engineering at the University of Liverpool, speculates that the mix up was a result of a computer glitch, reported Mail Online.
"At first I phoned up Amazon and they said that people must be 'gifting' them to me, but there's no way that's happening because I don't know any of these people," Quinn explained to Mail Online. "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. But Amazon said 'it's on us.'"
So far Quinn received at least 46 free gifts from the online retailer who had a record-breaking Black Friday.
Some of the free gifts will be given to his family for Christmas and some will be donated to charity, Quinn told Mail Online.
The rest will likely be sold back to Amazon because Quinn, an inventor in the making, is working on creating an electrical cannabis grinder, reported Mail Online. The extra money will help fund the production of his invention which he is considering patenting.
He would also like to use the money to take his girlfriend on vacation to Bruges over the summer.
