Cobra inside an Amazon package: it’s a scandal in India – planetcellulare.it
Controversy is raging on social media over yet another mistake by Amazon, which this time accidentally sent a cobra to an Indian couple
What happened two days ago to a couple is truly incredible Bangalore in India, who received a snake from Amazon in the packaging of Xbox controllers. The video that immortalizes the scene and which went around the world highlighted the presence of a cobra stuck to packing tape that couldn’t free itself. A somewhat horrifying scene that has caused dismay and for which Amazon will certainly have to account to its customers.
The reaction of the social world
The viral video opens with a scene of an Amazon package stored in a red bucket. The poisonous snake then appears blocked by black adhesive tape with Amazon Prime written on it. The snake is also seen moving and trying to crawl out of the casing, but failing. A scene that will also have shocked the consciences of animal rights activists.
Sharing the video on X, a social media user wrote, “A family ordered an Xbox controller on Amazon and ended up getting a live cobra on Sarjapur Road. Luckily the poisonous snake was stuck to the packing tape. India is not for beginners.”
Many users of the social media they expressed their shock and disappointment claiming that they had lost faith in online deliveries. Another user, as a joke, argued: “So Amazon now also delivers Cobra, this is why Amazon is the leader in online shopping.” The couple who received the Amazon package directly from the courier filmed the entire scene and also included in the video the testimony of other people who witnessed the disturbing scene live.
Amazon’s apology
Amazon, to remedy what happened but also to apologize, refunded the entire amount, however, the couple raised doubts about the risk to their lives due to the site’s negligence and poor supervision e-commerce. The accident in question, in fact, could have had a much more tragic outcome, especially if the cobra had managed to free itself from the tape that held it prisoner. What would have happened in this case? What if there were children present?
This is a case that could also have consequences at a judicial level. It is a story that will make you think and which once again raises the controversy over the quality and reliability of mail order purchases. The number of users who complain about receiving items at home that are different from those they ordered is growing day by day, calling into question the efficiency of remote purchases.
