Mum in disbelief at Amazon delivery after ordering £300 iPad

A mum was out of pocket after ordering an iPad on Amazon - and receiving a box of glue, baubles, glass and LED lights instead.

Milly Dufficey, 29, snapped up the £309 iPad for a Christmas gift in a Cyber Monday deal - but was astounded when she opened the box to discover nothing but Christmas decorations. Now the iPad has gone up in price to £329 - leaving her £20 out of pocket.

Milly was at work when the parcel was delivered to her Stoke home, reports Stoke Live.

Milly said: "In the box wasn't an iPad. It looks like it was for Wilko or something. I searched for some of the items on Amazon and I couldn't find some of the things.

"I spoke to Amazon and they said they would send UPS to come and collect the parcel. I paid £309 for the iPad but it is now priced at £329 - and they won't pay the difference.

"I'm quite shocked because I shop through Amazon often. It's not what I need this close to Christmas. It's getting closer to Christmas and I'm getting really stressed about it.

"I have also heard from people who have said that they have had the same happen to them when they've ordered an iPhone or another Apple product. They've ended up with different things that are really cheap."

An Amazon spokesman said: "We launched an investigation and reached out to the customer to make things right."
