You're probably thinking that a similar scenario could only happen in a bad sitcom, but you're wrong, because that's exactly what happened to a XNUMX-year-old software engineer from India.

It seems this is not the first time Flipkart sent a cleaning agent to a customer instead of a smartphone. Anand Bhalakai found himself in a similar situation two years ago, when he ordered Samsung Galaxy Note4, but instead it had soap in the package. Bhalakai was better off than Nagrali as he also got a charger for Android phones along with the soap.
Flipkart is currently India's largest online retailer, valued at $11,6 billion in April last year.

It wasn't a complete loss. Nothing had to come either.
Well, well, you never know when the postman misses the soap?
Ali Bee?
At least you had something to clean those brown pants? ?
She once sent me mustard instead of an iPhone? and even here they took it for PCR. ?
To parks :D
I do exactly the opposite. I order a cleaning product and it always works for me iPhone. I'm still terribly dirty and I don't know what to do with my iPhones anymore :(
Message us, can we send you some soap in exchange for a pair of iPhones?
yessss ;))))
And did he try to cut the soap? What if it is a new iPhone packaging so that it remains clean when unpacking? :)
She's funny in the discussion, but what do you do when something like this actually happens to you? How can I prove that I ran out of "empty boxes"? In a court of law it would be judged as "claim against claim"
I always try to buy such expensive things with personal collection, but sometimes you don't have that option.
I agree, since something similar happened to me and I couldn't do anything about it, I'm just kidding...
Something similar happened to me at Iphone 4. The package was intact, my family was around me, I ceremoniously opened the box and inside it was a piece of concrete.
Using a stretch film attached to the bottom. Weight as well as IP, that's why even the weighing machines at transshipment stations didn't recognize it.
I called on Apple, they investigated it first and sent a new piece with an apology. This time, despite the driver's protests, I unpacked the package.
Since then IP 5, 5S, 6 and 8 only from the e-shop for personal collection :)
