A woman from Bengaluru got the shock of her life when Amazon delivered a live snake in the package with an Xbox controller she had ordered.
Showing remarkable composure instead of reacting in panic, the woman posted a video on X, showing a wriggling snake trying desperately to free itself from the package where it appeared to be stuck in tape.
All she wrote was, "Ordered an Xbox controller from @amazonIN and received a free snake with it!"
As netizens reacted in anger or disbelief, others took recourse to sarcasm.
Alex Mathew wrote: “It’s a genuine Amazon package without any doubt. The Xbox was packed in the real deep Amazon forest. Only Amazon can deliver the experience of Amazon.”
When last heard, Amazon had contacted the disgruntled customer, posting on X: “We are sorry to know about the inconvenience you’ve had with the Amazon order. We’d like to have this checked,” giving a link to the complainant to reach out to the company.
People responded to that too: “Inconvenience? Next time #DeadBody bhej do.” (Inconvenience? Send a dead body next time), someone posted.
