Amazon honours Kerala man for his honesty

A man in Malappuram ordered power bank from Amazon online but was delivered an android phone instead. After he disclosed the mix-up and volunteered to return the phone, the online shopping giant has honoured him for his honesty gifting him the android phone he has been delivered.

Malappuram: Nabeel, from Edarikkod, Kottakkal in Malappuram district of Kerala, who set an example by being honest, was surprised by the online shopping giant Amazon’s gesture.

Nabeel had placed an order for a power bank worth Rs 1400 with the Amazon online shopping site on August 10. It was bought for the phone that his sister uses for her online classes. Within a week after placing the order, Amazon’s parcel reached Nabeel’s home. On opening it, he found that it was an android phone worth Rs 8000.

Nabeel informed Amazon customer care about their mistake in delivering a mobile phone instead of a power bank device through a tweet and was about to return it.

Realising their blunder, the online shopping giant appreciated Nabeel for his honesty. Amazon authorities informed him that the phone need not be returned to them and that he could use it.

Instead of Xiaomi 20000 MAH Power bank, worth Rs 1400, a Redmi 8 A Dual phone worth Rs 8000 was delivered to Nabeel. He took a photo of the Redmi phone that was wrongly delivered to him and posted it on Twitter, tagging Amazon, as he realised that it was their mistake.

Amazon responded with apologies on their part for the wrong delivery and told Nabeel that he could use the phone, lauding his uprightness.

Nabeel is surprised by the e-commerce giant’s gesture and is happy to have got a phone instead of a power bank.
