This is what happened

The woman explained that her mother placed a ‘Cash on Delivery’ order and when her mother opened the package, she saw that it was considerably lighter than an electric toothbrush. She, therefore, opened the box in front of the delivery person before finishing the payment and was astonished to see four packets of MDH chaat masala.

No response from Amazon

While tweeting product images, she captions the post with , “Dear @amazonIN, why haven’t you removed a seller who’s been scamming buyers for over a year? My mom ordered an Oral-B electric toothbrush worth ₹12k, and received 4 boxes of MDH Chat Masala instead! Turns out seller MEPLTD has done this to dozens of customers since Jan 2022.”

The woman further said, “The seller keeps their listings ₹1-3k lower than other sellers on big ticket items, which tempts more people to order from them. One may argue you should check seller feedback before ordering, but how many people do that? Especially as you have to click away from the listing to do so.”

She ended with the comment, “@amazonIN It is absolutely appalling that you’re allowing this seller to continue using your platform to steal from people, despite dozens of customers flagging this scam over the past 1 year. Do something ASAP.”
