TLDR:
30 cases, $4,000.
She got her money back after making a stink in the media.
I don’t think that company regularly gets orders that big, do they? Maybe when getting a large order, they should contact the buyer to confirm it.
Two thoughts on why it didn’t get flagged
-
the seller might be used to selling bulk amounts to distributors so 30 cases isn’t unheard of.
-
Since it was on Amazon, there might not have actually been a human in the loop (except the person who packaged it but its not on them to check stuff like that) until the package actually arrives
But idk, I just skimmed the article lol

IDK what the fuck kind of settings people have on their phones to allow anyone with access to it to do that?
Any action that requires a payment or money transfer on my phone also requires authentication, and I’m not even sure I can disable that.
But maybe that’s because I’m in EU?LaFavers said she was changing some settings on her phone to make sure there’s never another surprise

LaFavers doesn’t want her kid doing the favors for other kids.
Jesus, how many friends does this fucking kid have?
A shitload more now.
Or none because he didn’t follow through.
there should be a regulation that businesses who sell to minors over the internet are liable for the mistake. They’re the ones who benefit from such easy ordering, and this is a foreseeable consequence of that.
That’s just asking to have online shopping become much harder, requiring more identity verification than just having a credit card and an address. Which is maybe beneficial overall; it would cut down on fraud, but I doubt it would be a popular change.
I’m honestly pro-anything-that-reduces-consumption. This would reduce consumption because it would make people consider their purchases more.
How? For all they know the mother bought them. That’s what the billing and shipping info says.
They didn’t know they were selling to a minor. He used his mother’s phone. It’s right there in the headline.
There should be a regulation that if you don’t secure a device that is later used in a way you don’t want because of lack of said security, you are shit out of luck. - ftfy
It’s not the fault of the business because your pin code is 1234 (or non-existent). People need to figure shit out. If a child grabs your car keys and then crashes the family sedan, it’s not Toyota’s fault; same thing.
Let the boy have them
but that’s all he gets to eat until he finishes them
Per my quick research, 1 Dum Dum is about 25 calories, if we assume he eats 1500 calories per day, he’d die of malnutrition before he finished eating them over 3 years.

70,000 is just a starting point for negotiation, she counters with zero then they settle on 7,000 and both walk away with a win.
ABC couldn’t just have said “found herself in a tough spot”, absolutely had to shoehorn “sticky” in with a pile driver
The story isn’t finished!
Did the kid end up having his sucky carnival‽
Phrasing!
I don’t like this sentence.
