Man mistakenly buys a Grinch bigger than his house and his neighbors adore him

If one phrase perfectly describes the case of Ray Liddell, a father of a family from England, it is “Intension is what counts”, because in his attempt to surprise his youngest daughter, it was he who ended up surprised with the purchase that made over the internet.

Ray did not read the fine print of his online purchase and received an inflatable Grinch doll at home, which measures no more and no less than 10 meters in height. Its size is so huge that it sticks out of the roof of its two-story house and has become the cutest Christmas attraction in the neighborhood.

Ray wanted to surprise his youngest daughter with this year’s Christmas decorations. That’s why he bought online an inflatable Grinch doll. The man reviewed costs on several sites, but only one caught his eye, it seemed reasonable to him, and the buyer’s photos were pretty. This is how he paid out $ 667 and a few days later received a huge package right at his doorstep.

At first, the size of the package seemed disproportionate to him, but he believed that it looked like this because of the multiple linings to cover it and avoid damage. However, upon unpacking it, he realized that he received a 10-meter high inflatable doll. It was so big that it did not fit in the patio of his house to unroll it.

Concerned, he contacted the seller back to verify if the package he received was correct and it was. In addition, he contacted the bank to review the charge on his card and everything was in perfect order.

He buys an inflatable Grinch for his daughter and the doll is bigger than his house

Knowing that everything was in order and that her daughter would be excited about the inflatable, she soon installed it in the front of her house. The Grinch doll is so tall that it sticks out of the roof of his house and, as expected, in a matter of minutes he caught the attention of his neighbors and passersby, who did not hesitate to approach to take a photo.

However, Ray and his family took advantage of the Grinch’s popularity on their porch and charged a few bucks to take a picture with the doll. All money raised is being donated to your local Alice House Hospice.

The reaction has been astonishing. We received people who came from all over the North West of England. Several people who have never come to Hartlepool are doing it for the first time, and the best thing is we are helping others in a simple way and in times that need it most. This has definitely been my best online purchase.
