Word spread like wildfire across the UK’s campuses and students began stock-piling everyday items such as toilet rolls and toothpaste – as well as packs of beer.

One student got £2,500 worth of goods for nothing and many bought enough household goods to last their entire degree course.

Student flats in London, Durham, Nottingham, Manchester, Salford and Hertfordshire began to resemble warehouses.

One undergrad estimated the blunder had cost the retailer - run by the world’s richest man Jeff Bezos – hundreds of thousands.

At one stage Amazon’s top seller list showed items such as toothbrushes, loo roll, deodorants, books, batteries, iPhone chargers, sports socks and cheap beer. A student flat in Newcastle was among the first to discover the golden opportunity.
