Man Who Paid Rs 90K For A Camera Lens On Amazon Claims He Got Quinoa Seeds Instead
The customer ordered a camera lens from Amazon for Rs 90,000 but received quinoa seeds instead, resulting in a mismatched and unexpected delivery.
In an unusual event, a man waiting for a high-end camera lens worth Rs 90,000 from Amazon was taken aback when he reportedly received a shipment containing quinoa seeds instead. The unanticipated mix-up has sparked concerns about the precision and dependability of the e-commerce giant's fulfilment process.
The man, an Indian photography enthusiast, had carefully chosen and ordered the camera lens using Amazon's online site. He awaited the arrival of the coveted photography equipment with bated breath, only to be confronted with disappointment and uncertainty upon opening the package.
On July 5, Arun Kumar Meher ordered a Sigma 24-70 f 2.8 lens from Amazon. It was delivered the next day, but when he opened it, he was taken aback. He claimed that the box had already been opened and that it contained quinoa seeds instead of the camera lens. He also included a couple of images of the quinoa seeds that came with the lens box.
