A woman with vulnerable health who has decided against gathering with family for Christmas this year was left dismayed after gifts sent by loved ones got lost in transit, with a box of 'rusty old car parts' landing on her doorstep instead.
Julia Harris has suffered three heart attacks over the course of the past year, and so didn't want to risk organising a big family gathering. As they wouldn't be seeing her in person, her son and his father, Adrian, instead sent her a box filled with several gifts they intended to open together over a Christmas Day video call.
Unfortunately, when a large box arrived at Julia's home on Tuesday, December 20th from DPD, it was clear the outer packaging was a different shape than the one she'd seen in a previous video message. Upon opening it, she found 'rusty old car parts' rather than lovingly wrapped gifts, all packed with bubble wrap and Amazon cardboard, Bristol Live reports.
