Man buys TV, gets illegal rifle instead

It’s been a pretty weird year so far in terms of Amazon customers getting strange things shipped to them.

In January, a student ordered a textbook through the site and got a $400 (€325) bag of cocaine. Now, a Washington man who ordered a TV from one of Amazon’s sellers was sent a semi-automatic rifle.

Seth Horvitz bought a flatscreen HDTV from one of Amazon’s affiliated sellers.
