A preschool at a Yorkville Chabad center has received an endless deluge of cardboard Amazon boxes containing pricey puzzles and water slides — despite no one on staff ordering the toys.
The mystery presents first arrived at Alef Bet Preschool on East 92nd Street every couple of days in June, and over the coming months, the volume and size of the gifts ramped up. By August, deliverymen were dropping off several 27-pound boxes daily each holding at least 50 puzzles or a few water slides decorated with the American flag. The preschool estimated that it received maybe 1,000 items altogether.
Rabbi Uriel Vigler, co-founder of the Chabad Israel Center of the Upper East Side, said that the congregation was wary at first, with staff members believing it was a scam.to send “German ovens” to their building a year ago. “We got a call about 1000 German ovens — and now we are receiving love.” “If they wanted to send us really useful things that’d be great,” educational director Malkie Jacob said wishfully.
A mountain of Amazon boxes crowded the center’s tight vestibule, which is used to store strollers and for the school’s security team.AA Media did not respond to requests for comment. Amazon said that it believes the seller was trying to donate the toys to the preschool.
