Mum issues urgent Amazon warning to parents after kids Christmas presents arrive in clear packaging
A MUM has warned other parents to check their Amazon orders after one of her son's Christmas presents arrived in clear packaging.
Emma O'Donnell, from Glasgow, has three boys under the age of nine and regularly shares posts on social media about parenthood.
In a recent Instagram Story (@a_mothers_tale), the 35-year-old - a social media blogger - revealed one of her son's Christmas surprises had been ruined because it was posted in see-through wrapping.
Sharing a picture of the Fortnite merchandise still in the packaging, she said: "Big shout out to Amazon for delivering one of Fin's Christmas presents in a clear plastic bag today.
"He told me he loves them."
Emma was then stunned to discover that there is a "discreet" delivery option you may have to select at the checkout when placing orders with the online retailer.
After sharing her experience on social media, another mum told her: "You have to make sure you change the option at checkout so it ships discreet now.
"I'm just glad I saw it before we ordered all of ours on there because my kids are nosey."
And Emma is now sharing the advice with other parents in the lead up to christmas.
"In case anyone's doing any Christmas shopping on Amazon, select discreet at checkout", she said.
