Amazon have sent me 144 tins of beans- by accident!

[paperlightshade]

I ordered 12 tins of beans from Amazon. And I have been sent 12 packs of 12 cans. Yep, 144 cans of beans. Amazon won't take them back either because they are a food product and have suggested I do what I want with them. It's almost as bad as the time I accidentally ordered 2000-ish toilet rolls (no, that isn't a typo!) in a post surgery, oramorph fuelled haze.
The only saving grace is a) they have a very long date on them and b) I'm a vegetarian.

Has anyone else ever had anything from Amazon like this?

That'd last our kids about 6 weeks the rate they go through beans 😂 it'd be like winning the lottery for us - enjoy!

It must be nice being Jeff’s personal favourite 😂

Keep some and rest to charity/food bank/good cause.

I got mason jars and a blood pressure monitor once

I once ordered something cheap.and ended up.with a one pot pressure cooker. It cost 120 quid . . I told them more than once and put it away to await collection. A few years later it was still there so now I use it all.the time. it has come in v handy and I feel.no guilt as I tried to sort it out and I figure Amazon can survive with their mega millions

I cannot tell you how happy my husband would be over 144 tins baked beans 😂

I've not had anything interesting in years sadly. I miss a good freebie.

How much did you pay for them ? Guessing the price would be a giveaway whether or not this is a mistake lol . Food bank for sure , failing that local Facebook page ,
sure a few people would take 12 off your hands

Enjoy your beans!

I tried to order 2 toy fire engines from Amazon, some how I ordered 22. They did take 20 back though :) but it was fire engine central in the living room for a while.

My husband once ordered 99 sweet potatoes. We had such a laugh with the Tesco delivery driver about all these trays of potatoes! Luckily he took them back.

With 144 Tins of beans you will be able to blast yourself into outer space without the need for a rocket 🚀 🤣🤣

They'll come in handy now with all those beans.

Awesome, I love baked beans. Id be well happy!😄

I did once get 10 times the amount of dog food Id ordered from Amazon. Id ordered a months worth too so it lasted me nearly a year!

I ordered a suitcase and when it arrived, there was a very realistic looking baby's head with material body and plastic limbs inside that I definitely hadn't ordered! I kept it in the loft for about a year and then sold it on ebay. It wasn't packaged so no address to return and Amazon didn't care. I assume whoever ordered it got a replacement and I got a few ££ when I sold it..

During Zcovid when ordering from Morrisons recipe boxes, they would include a full sized tem like honey/soy sauce rather than sachet with every recipe so if you ordered meals with the same ingredients, you would get multiple bottles of sauce/flavouring. We ended up with a large quantity of Worcestershire sauce. We still have a bottle left.

Unfortunately they are not baked beans. They're black beans. While I do like stuff like refried beans and the kids will eat a bit as well, we're going to be eating refried beans until the second coming at this rate.

DH who hasnt quite forgotten toilet roll-gate has been asking me if I was actually on planet earth when I ordered them.

Donate them to Women's Aid if you have a local one, they are always grateful for personal hygiene products 🙏

If you haven’t paid for them all I’m not sure why you wouldn’t just be giving most of the extras away to food banks.

What about your local schools? Raffle prizes are commonly requested near the end of term for fundraising. Quick way to offload them all.

I had a leg delivered once. Not a real one of course. Spent a short while wondering who walked a bit oddly. Couldn’t decide. Sent it back.

I ordered an expensive bit of electrical kit for DH Christmas once and got a pack of four of them instead, took ages to sort out and we got a gift card as a thankyou for returning so that was quite nice karma.

I see what you did there. 😘👌🏽

This has tickled me...

I would keep them, but open a window first...

Ive seen local food banks post “please no more beans or pasta” !

Just calculated it would take us 38 years to get through 2000 toilet rolls
Dont eat baked beans often either.

Sorry just realised itcaas black beans. I do eat them more often.
