A MUM who ordered a kitchen mop on Amazon was stunned when it arrived in a box big enough for a 50-in TV.
Alison Whitehead, 58, said the £15, 3ft metal floor cleaner was loose in the 5ft by 2ft 6in by 1ft cardboard container.
Waitress Alison said it was so large the driver could barely carry it.
The mum of two, who is married to brickie Michael, 55, in Bourne, Lincs, gesê: “Talk about sledgehammer to crack a nut.
“That box was completely bonkers. It was so big it was working against the Amazon driver.
“He laughed when I told him what was in it. Even a paper bag would’ve been better!”
Demand for cardboard boxes has rocketed amid a supply-chain crisis just before Christmas.
Amazon, which aims to go net-zero by 2040, was approached for comment.
