A Colombian man just wanted to buy an airfryer from Amazon, but got a little friend along the way. Online shopping can be efficient and straightforward, but it can also make you tear your hair out. A Colombian woman named Sofia Serrano recently ordered an airfryer from the Amazon website. However, when the package arrived on her doorstep, the woman was in for an unpleasant surprise. Along with the kitchenware, there was a real lizard in the box.
The Unexpected Discovery
The Indian Express is among the media outlets that have covered the story. Shocked by the sight, Serrano took to her keyboard and shared the picture of the lizard on X last week. “Ordered an air fryer through Amazon and it came with a companion. I don’t know if it was Amazon’s fault or the carrier’s fault… good morning!” she wrote to the snapshot of the unusual delivery.
Amazon’s Quick Response
Amazon Help’s X account was quickly on the ball, apologizing to Serrano the same day. “Hello! We apologize for the inconvenience,” said the online giant. The Colombian’s post set the platform on fire and, at the time of writing, has over four million views. Thousands more have engaged in the comments section.
Social Media Reactions
“I would have died if this had happened to me. On the other hand, I have compassion for the little animal. It must be scared, hungry and thirsty,” writes one user in the comments section. “Poor little animal. How many hours has he spent in the box, without food or water? Hopefully, Amazon can offer a relevant solution for both the people involved and the animal,” another commented.
Unresolved Concerns
It is currently unclear whether or not Serrano has received sufficient help from Amazon after the incident. The situation highlights the unexpected challenges that can arise with online shopping, reminding consumers and companies alike of the importance of quality control and customer service.
This story serves as a peculiar reminder of the unexpected surprises that can sometimes accompany our online orders. While most deliveries go off without a hitch, it’s the rare and unusual experiences that capture our attention and remind us of the human (and sometimes animal) element behind every package.
