The pair, who have chosen to remain anonymous, ordered four 27-gallon storage bins that should have arrived empty, but were instead carrying a grand total of 65 pounds of the illegal drug.

They promptly called police officers, who were equally confused.

One of the customers, who live in eastern Florida, told WFTV: “When the first officer got here, she was in disbelief.”

The pair didn’t sleep in their house “for a few days” for fear that drug dealers would break in to reclaim their merchandise.

As for Amazon, the Internet giant sent them a $150 gift card and said the company was “unable to do anything else at this time”. The company is reportedly working with police to solve the case.
