North Alabama Man Mistakenly Receives Urine After Online Order

TUSCUMBIA, AL - Imagine opening an Amazon package expecting to get the household goods you recently ordered, and finding someone else's urine in the box instead. A man in Colbert County in north Alabama experienced just that, as he is now wondering how Amazon made the mistake.

"I opened it. And when I reached in and pulled it out. Some kind of urine specimen or something like that," the man told WHNT. "I was very surprised. My son was standing there watching me open it and he got a good laugh out of it."

The container inside the bag did include a woman's name and birthday, likely indicating the urine was being sent in for testing.

The man, who asked not to be identified by name, said he spoke with Amazon about what he had received, and that the customer service representative said Amazon did not want the item returned.

"They said the shower curtain rings will be here Saturday," he said.

The man said he will hold on to the urine sample for a couple of days in case he is informed that someone needs it, after which time he said he will dispose of it.
