Customers across India have discovered bizarre surprises in online orders this week, ranging from unsettling to outright shocking. From a live snake wrapped around an Amazon package to a severed human finger discovered in ice cream, these incidents have sparked widespread concern and prompted serious questions about online delivery safety and quality control.
This week, online shoppers received shocking surprises in their deliveries, including a live snake and a severed finger. Here are four bizarre discoveries:
1. Snake in Amazon package:
In Bengaluru, a woman discovered a live Spectacled Cobra wrapped around an Amazon package containing an Xbox controller. The venomous snake was secured to packaging tape, preventing further harm. Amazon apologized, refunded her, and promised to improve its safety measures.
2. Human Finger in Ice Cream:
Orlem Brandon Serrao, a Mumbai doctor, discovered a human finger in his ice cream that had been delivered online. Initially mistaking it for a nut, he was horrified to discover the truth. The incident was reported to Malad police, who traced the finger back to a worker at an ice cream factory in Pune. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India suspended the factory's license.
3. A dead rat in chocolate syrup:
Prami Sridhar discovered a dead rat in Hershey's chocolate syrup purchased through Zepto. She initially noticed small hairs in the syrup and discovered the rodent when she poured it out. Three people consumed the contaminated syrup, with one fainting and requiring hospitalization. Hershey's has apologized and is investigating.
4. An empty glass from Swiggy:
Aaraynsh received an empty glass rather than the lime soda he ordered from Swiggy. After a sarcastic tweet, Swiggy promptly refunded him ₹80 of the ₹120 he had paid. These incidents raise serious concerns about the safety and quality control of online deliveries, urging companies to improve their protocols to avoid such incidents.
These shocking incidents highlight the importance of improved online delivery safety and quality control, urging customers to remain vigilant and report any issues as soon as possible.
