Woman Receives COD Parcel She Never Ordered, Finds ‘Half-Torn Used Kurta’ Inside

A woman has claimed receiving a cash-on-delivery (COD) parcel she never ordered, sparking concern on X after she allegedly discovered a torn, used kurta inside the package. X user Kiran Manral said the parcel was delivered through Delhivery and carried her correct name, phone number and address. However, she claimed the package did not contain clear details about the sender, leaving her puzzled about who had sent it.

According to Kiran, the parcel arrived on a COD basis, and her son paid for it before opening the package. The family was left stunned when they discovered what she described as a “half-torn used kurta” inside.

Sharing her experience on X, Kiran questioned how such an unsolicited parcel could have reached her and whether others may have fallen victim to similar incidents. She wrote, “I have no clue who the sender is. I wonder how many folks have been scammed this way.”

I was subject to an elaborate scam yesterday. Parcel comes home via @delhivery COD. Everything perfect, my name address phone number. But nothing about the sender. My son pays. I have not ordered anything. See what was sent. A half torn used kurta. What they call chindi. Delhivery obviously saying collect your money from sender. I have no clue who the sender is. I wonder how many folks have been scammed this way. Any help will be welcome. It’s a small amount but just the principle of the thing.

Calling the incident an “elaborate scam”, Kiran also raised concerns over the possibility of unsuspecting customers being tricked into paying for parcels they never ordered. She stressed that while the amount involved was small, the issue was about more than just the money.
