Mumbai man receives Redmi Note 10 instead of mouthwash from Amazon

A man, who had ordered a mouthwash from online shopping platform Amazon, has received a Redmi Note 10 phone worth Rs 13,000. How lucky can someone be?

Though, there are many stories of people receiving empty boxes or soaps instead of the original items they have ordered. But, a Mumbai-based man was quite lucky when he placed an online order with Amazon for mouthwash for just Rs 396 and ended up receiving a Redmi Note 10 instead worth Rs 13,000.

However, the man identified as Lokesh Daga seems to be a good man. Taking to Twitter, User Lokesh Daga tagged both the e-commerce giant and the Smartphone company, detailing the goof up.

Daga, in his post, said he had ordered four Colgate mouthwash bottles which were billed for Rs 396 on May 10. However, when the order was delivered, he found a Redmi Note 10, which was priced at Rs 13,000.

“Hello, @amazonIN ordered a Colgate mouth wash via ORDER # 406-9391383-4717957 and instead of that got a @RedmiIndia note 10. Since mouth was in a consumable product returns are restricted and am unable to request a return via the app,” Daga wrote, sharing a picture of his order details and the Smartphone he received.

However on opening the package I can see that the packaging label was mine but the invoice was of somebody else’s. I have emailed you as well to get the product delivered to the right person. pic.twitter.com/Ohabdk4BWp

In a follow-up tweet, Daga also pointed out that though the packing label was his, the invoice was of someone else. “I have emailed you as well to get the product delivered to the right person,” he added.

It is worth mentioning that this is not the first online shopping goof-up. Last year, a Pune man received a pair of wireless headphones worth Rs 19,000, instead of his order of skin lotion worth Rs 300.
