What if you don't notice the mistake immediately as GreenMonkey didn't? Or in the OP's case where the item was delivered before the confirmation email?

If she purchased a book for her mother, she would have to return it. At whose expense?

Anyway, I just thought these types of errors were eliminated with modern software systems.
