Toowoomba's Janetzki family in Australia has purchased 2,300 toilet rolls prior to national supermarket sell-out.

As per the reports, the family estimates it is enough to last them 12 years. For the past two years, the Janetzkis have been ordering one box of 48 rolls every 12 weeks. Post Christmas, the family decided to change the product and set up a new subscription. Ms Janetzki reportedly said that it asked for the quantity and she wrote 48 thinking that she want a box with 48 rolls in it. A couple of days after the order was placed they received an email saying the order was on the way. Ms Janetzki said that there was a knock on the door and the delivery guy said that he has got two pallets of toilet paper. She said that when they checked the credit card statement they figured out that they placed an order of 48 boxes.
