I spent £50 on £1 Amazon return parcels – I got loads of Halloween costumes but here’s why it wasn’t worth the gamble

IN the recent months, Amazon returns pallets have become all the rage, with people ready to spend money on mystery boxes full of random items.

Some, like savvy money-saving mum Holly, have been quite lucky with their mystery purchases, but for others opening the box of ”goods” has been a major fail.

Unfortunately, the bargain hunter Becky Chorlton (@beckysbazaar) belongs to the latter category, after spending £50 on £1 parcels containing nothing particularly useful or expensive.

The unhappy shopper took to TikTok to reveal some of the ‘goodies’ she got her hands on – and it’s safe to say it wasn’t worth the gamble.

First up, she showed in the video, was a sparkly sequin two-piece that appeared to be quite a small size.

Then her partner, who also took part in the adventure, opened the second parcel only to find a black phone case with a mini crown detailing on the front.

Amongst the items they received was also a grey horse blanket, which some pointed out usually retails for more than £30, and an indicator stalk – Amazon retails the latter for around £20.

With Halloween just around the corner, perhaps it comes as no surprise that loads of people had also returned their costumes – and it seems that Becky got some of them.

Whilst unwrapping the parcels, they found a scary zombie mask with brains peeking through and three outfits – an adorable pumpkin, a sexy runaway bribe and a monk.

Perhaps the bargain loving duo saved the best for the last, as they ended the clip with a cool sequin jacket with eye detailing on the elbow area.

Revealing how she felt about the fail, Becky said she was ”gutted”.

”can’t decide between pumpkin or runaway bride…decisions decisions,” the shopper chuckled in the comments.

Social media users flocked to share their thoughts about the unfortunate shopping haul, with one writing: ”Load of £1 shop.”

Another thought: ”If the returns were worth anything amazon would be reselling them.”

Someone else also had a disappointing experience: ”I brought a big bag, no use to anyone or anything, everything was binned, waste of money.”

”you just got krissed!” a fourth joked.
