On receiving his parcel he found boxes of cereal inside instead of his computer. An Amazon customer was left baffled after opening a package that should have been his £500 laptop - only to discover two boxes of Weetabix instead. Adam Yearsley, from Trafford, decided to treat himself and ordered the HP laptop last week. The 40-year-old had never had an issue with the online giant before, but was left shocked by the contents of the parcel. Yearsley said: "I use Amazon all the time, I've never had an issue before. "I thought I would treat myself to a new computer. I ordered it, paid £500 for it and a couple of days later it was delivered. "When I opened the parcel it was two packets of Weetabix, a 24-pack and a 12-pack, sellotaped together in the shape of a laptop." Adam told Manchester Evening News that the box appeared to have been "tampered with" before he opened it. Fearing he had been the victim of a scam, he reported the incident to the police. Adam said: "I've been quite distressed over it, I don't know how it's happened.'' He added: "I was very baffled. I thought maybe my partner had ordered the Weetabix but I had to give a code to the delivery driver because it was an expensive parcel." Amazon said it has been in touch with the customer to apologise and offer a full refund. A spokesperson said: "This has been resolved. We've contacted the customer directly, apologised, and refunded in full." It's not the first time an Amazon customer has tried to open a new laptop from the firm, only to find cereal instead. Last November, The Northern Echo reported that a woman from York received a box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes when she was expecting an £850 laptop. The following month, the BBC reported on a Staffordshire mum who ordered a laptop as a Christmas gift for her daughter but instead found two boxes of cereal. Both customers were refunded and offered Amazon vouchers.){kind=link}
