Frustrated Amazon buyers receive fryers and cat food instead of PS5

Customers who pre-ordered Sony’s PlayStation 5 console from Amazon were given products they never ordered – including a coffee machines, foot massager, and cat food – instead of the latest console.

Journalist Bex April May tweeted that her order of the new console had been marked as “missed” by Amazon but that there had been no attempt to deliver.

She then received a package in the evening of an “unsolicited” air fryer.

“Delivery was fake ‘missed’ at midday with a ‘we couldn’t deliver’ message (with no attempt at delivery made). Now looks like it was siphoned off then before reappearing this evening, replaced with an air fryer inside”, she tweeted.
