Chocolate lovers go wild as Amazon blunder sees shoppers nab six large boxes of Thorntons for the price of only one
CHOCOLATE lovers have gone wild after an Amazon blunder sees shoppers nab six large boxes of treats for the price of only one.
So if you’re a fan of Thorntons and fancy getting yourself some chocolates in time for Christmas, you’ve come to the right place.
One savvy shopper, Nikki Roberts, explained that she ordered a box of Continental Thorntons chocolates from Amazon, for £5.92 for one pack.
However, when her order arrived, she was stunned to receive a full box, containing six boxes of the chocolates.
Totally thrilled, Nikki took to social media to alert other shoppers.
Posting on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, a private Facebook group with a staggering 2.3 million members, Nikki posted pictures of her huge haul and penned: “Did anyone else order the Thornton’s chocolates the other day that were advertised on here and get a full box?

“Not complaining as that’s a few little extra gifts I can give out, absolute bargain!
“April 2024 date too!”
Saving a whopping £29.60 and having five extra boxes of chocolate for free, it’s no surprise that Nikki was over the moon with the delivery.
The bargain hunter shared her post just 16 hours ago, but it has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 828 likes and 362 comments.
Social media users were stunned at Nikki’s surprise finds and many were eager to express this in the comments.
One person said: “Winner!”
Another added: “I need these, they are my favourite.”
Whilst a third commented: “Now you're making me want to order to see if I get this many. I did actually have a couple in my basket but [for] some reason never ordered!”
Meanwhile, someone else wrote: “Defo a picking error.”
At the same time, many other shoppers revealed that they unfortunately just received one box of chocolates.
One user claimed: “Just one box here... you got lucky.”
A second chimed in: “Winner, I just got 2 boxes I ordered.”
Whilst another chocolate fan expressed: “I ordered, just received the single box.
“Think yours may have been a packing error. Or they realised their mistake quickly.”
However, many explained that they were hopeful that they would receive more than one box.
One foodie wrote: “Ooh just found the deal and ordered then will see what turns up Friday.”
