I ordered my winter haul of Yankee Candles but Boots made a huge error on delivery
A WOMAN was left baffled after ordering three Yankee Candles and accidentally getting a whole lounge full of orders.
A video, which has racked up over 24,000 likes, showed the room piled high with boxes of the popular candles.
TikTok user Courtney uploaded the clip of the Yankee delivery after Royal Mail dropped it off.
She wrote on her @courtneynathxo account: “When you order 3 Yankee candles from Boots, but they send you 44.
“A full Royal Mail van worth of boxes.”
While many people commented that they would have kept quiet about the error, Courtney said her mum did the honest thing and contacted Boots.
She added: “My mother wouldn’t cope with a guilty conscience, bless her. She’s a better woman than me.
“They didn’t have any idea until she called them after the delivery was made.”
Thankfully, Boots did let her keep some of the surplus candles.
Courtney continued: “They allowed her to keep an extra 3 (so 6 in total) for the inconvenience/good will gesture.”
Courtney added in the comments that they were all the exact same candle, so thankfully they were a scent she enjoyed.
Surprisingly, viewers said this isn’t the first time that they’ve had an error when ordering from Boots.
One claimed: “This happened to my mum too!”
Another added: “i have heard boots have done this a lot sent people 3-4 times there orders but never happend to me.”
A third commented: “Girl…I ordered a serum and they sent me Chanel perfume.”
Many said they would have made the most of the mistake, with one writing: “My business would of been selling yankee candles.”
A second chimed in: “Sell them, because I would.”
