New Delhi: In a bizarre twist to her online shopping experience, Colombian resident Sofia Serrano was stunned to find a live giant lizard inside her Amazon delivery. Serrano had ordered an air fryer, but instead, she was met with the unsettling sight of a soaked lizard clinging to the inside of the package.

Serrano took to X to share her bewildering experience. She posted a picture of the soaked lizard clinging to the inside of the box and wrote, "We ordered an air fryer through Amazon and it arrived with a companion. I don’t know if it was Amazon’s fault or the carrier’s fault… good morning!”

“We already know that it was the responsibility of Amazon because the reptile was put in the bag where the air fryer was packaged. Amazon does not want to take responsibility and the situation is very serious since a foreign animal can generate health implications", she added further.

Her post quickly went viral, amassing over 4 million views.

Reacting to her post, Amazon Help issued an apology. "Hello! We’re sorry for the inconvenience", it said on X.

The incident has ignited widespread criticism of e-commerce and delivery services, highlighting potential failures in packaging and quality control. Social media users have flooded the comments section with a mix of disbelief and humor, amplifying the discussion about the reliability and safety of online shopping.

“The air fryer comes with ingredients for you to prepare your first dish", a user joked.

A few days back, a Bengaluru couple was left terrified when they found a live cobra inside a package they had ordered from Amazon. The couple had purchased an Xbox controller, but instead received a venomous snake.

In a separate, equally disturbing event, a Mumbai-based doctor was stunned to discover a severed human finger inside a butterscotch ice cream cone from Yummo Ice Cream, which his sister had ordered through the grocery delivery app Zepto.
