A 68-year-old American was mistakenly sent six Nintendo Switch consoles. She tried to return them, but it didn't work out

All six consoles were officially handed over to Debora so she could give them to her grandchildren.

68-year-old Debora Lewis from the city of Ahwatukee in Arizona received her usual courier delivery: boxes with medicine and things she had ordered. 

However, in one of the sealed cardboard boxes awaited her a surprise: six Nintendo Switch consoles. Debora simply could not have ordered them, since at first she did not even understand what they were. 

The American looked it up online and concluded that the consoles were a super-popular and expensive item.

I thought it would be nice to give them to my grandchildren, but that would be wrong. That's why we are trying to return them. 

The woman and her guardian tried to find out where they should return the consoles and contacted the delivery service and the American store Target, where they had been bought.

It turned out that the consoles had been shipped to one of the chain's stores located on the same street as Debora Lewis's home. However, the store refused to take the consoles back from the woman, no matter how hard she tried. 

A few days later, Target employees came to visit the American woman. She was glad that they would finally take the consoles away. But no such luck! The chain's representatives officially handed Debora all six consoles and a gift basket from the store so she could give them to her grandchildren (she has eight) or to anyone she saw fit. 

Target representatives said they were doing this wholeheartedly and wanted to thank the woman for her honesty and for wanting to do the right thing. The elderly Debora cried from surprise and joy.

Are you serious? You have no idea what I've been through! I can't believe it. All these days people have been writing to me and asking me to send them at least one console. 

The woman hugged the store employees, posed for a photo with a Nintendo Switch, and then they helped her place the box with new gifts for her grandchildren under the Christmas tree. 

At the end of the story about Debora Lewis, the local TV anchor noted that the woman's grandchildren live in Chicago, which means Lewis will have to carefully double-check the address on the package before sending it.
