After the Amazon delivery man started unloading, the Lunts learned that Caitlin purchased $350 worth of toys from the online provider through clicking "instant buy" and had them shipped overnight -- which is how the parents were totally caught off guard until delivery day.

So what now? Caitlin is allowed to keep her original Barbie but has to ship everything else back.
