TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Riverview couple’s attempt to shut down their Amazon side hustle has taken a bizarre twist.

They’re now receiving massive, unwanted shipments — some weighing 500 pounds — of dishwashing soap at their home.

Rose and Louis Bostick called Better Call Behnken for help, saying Amazon won’t stop the deliveries, despite their pleas for them to investigate and realize this is a mistake.

“Pallets after pallets and I’m like overwhelmed,” Bostick said. “I’m like we never sent this much of anything. Look at us, we are ordinary people. We don’t own a supermarket.”

The Bosticks once ran a small third-party seller business on Amazon, distributing books and some household products. When they decided to shut it down last year, they said they thought it would be easy, but instead, thousands of bottles of soap have shown up at their front door, day after day.

The couple said Amazon originally said it would return the items in their inventory and then close the account. This dish soap, Rose Bostick said, was never in their inventory. She said they had no more than 50 bottles of dish soap in their inventory, not thousands.

She said some boxes contain one bottle, and other boxes contain 50 bottles.

“We’ve given away so much product, our family, our friends, our neighbors, my coworkers,” Rose Bostick said. “They don’t even want anymore because they are like we’ve got enough to last us a year or two years.”

Consumer Investigator Shannon Behnken reached out to Amazon and received this statement:

We’d like to thank WFLA for bringing this matter to our attention. We’ve reached out to the customer to apologize, and we’ll work directly with them to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

Behnken will follow up to make sure the unwanted shipments stop.
