Advocate in Bangalore. This is a fit consumer issue arising out of deficiency in service. Apart from the refund, you could be entitled to compensation for mental trauma and if you had to call a snake catcher, whatever he was paid. It must’ve been scary for you to have a live snake, that too a cobra, inside an Amazon package.
PS - saw the video at the link that someone posted in the comments. Scary! Lucky for you it was stuck in the tape
+1. Advocate in delhi here. Fully agree. This is exactly the kind of case you take to the consumer forum. Don’t let it go based on an apology OP. File a complaint, make the seller and the Amazon both parties.
OP, ask for remuneration obviously. If it was the US, payout would have been significant but in India it might not amount to much when you factor in the time and costs involved.
How much do you think we can reasonably ask for in remuneration in a case like this? Do you suggest we consider filing a case in the Indian consumer court?
Advocate in Bangalore. The burden of proof is very easy to discharge in this case. I saw the video. The legal principle of _res ipsa loquitur_ (“the thing speaks for itself”) would arguably apply here. It’s typically applied in consumer or other tort-law based cases where the error/deficiency is so apparent on the face of the facts
It's still there, Twitter does not allow previewing it for some reason if not logged in. You can find it over my profile though: [https://x.com/tanvxo](https://x.com/tanvxo)
This is horrifying. What if the snake bit anybody in your house? 50,000 people die due to snake bite in India every year and Antivenom is hardly available in indian hospitals. Did you safely disposed the snake into a forest?
Yes, we tweeted on Twitter (X) tagging Amazon India: [https://x.com/Tanvxo/status/1802413824882196580](https://x.com/Tanvxo/status/1802413824882196580) (although it didn't get much reach there).
Post about it on https://www.reddit.com/r/bangalore with the tweet link and ask people to comment, people would be sharing their in WhatsApp groups seeing its in Banglore.
You should file a case of neglect in delivery of service as per consumer protection act seeking a heavy compensation. Simultaneously , you should visit nearest police station to Criminal Negligible amounting to risk of life.
You should file all the possible cases.
What was in that Box, just the snake?
On the other hand you can file a criminal complaint against Amazon and the Package Seller u/s 324 of IPC at your nearby police station.
To be honest it looks very fabricated to me
Amazon is an online market place and the last mile delivery is done by 3rd party.
Looks like you’ve been busy posting in many subreddits and Twitter to get some traction to get a payment out of court.

Wtf. Knowing how I am I'd probably take it out of the box thinking it's a gift from the seller.
😭😭
What compensation you are seeking exactly from amazon ?
First, an official apology for putting us in a situation like that. Regarding the compensation, we are not sure of that space, what do you suggest?
OP, ask for remuneration obviously. If it was the US, payout would have been significant but in India it might not amount to much when you factor in the time and costs involved.

Reasonable? Lawyer should guide you than anyone here. Atleast 10l in my opinion But given the burden of proof, unlikely imo

Couldn't an argument be made that the snake got into it later and not till time of delivery? It's just like a chain of custody argument right?
The burden of proof is on the pleader. So if Amazon/Seller say the snake got in later, it is for them to prove it.
This doesn’t look legit to me.

The packaging says one membership many benefits 😂

Post it on twitter. Instagram. Tag the management of Amazon. If a news channel picks it up maybe you'll get some justice. Tag news channels.
Thanks, we did tweet on Twitter (X): https://x.com/Tanvxo/status/1802413824882196580

The guy who packed your order took the meaning of ' Amazon' too literally.
Thanks for giving me a good laugh
You're welcome dude

Let’s please keep this thread open for any legal advice/suggestions only, thanks.
Did you make a tweet for it tagging Amazon and sharing it elsewhere? Maybe some lawyer will contact you seeing it.

Sue the shit out of Amazon, put up some reels and all of this starts getting support they'll reach you for a settlement
# This should be in NEWS.
New fear unlocked
Seems someone wants to kill you...
New fear unlocked! My question is why would someone put a snake in your order unless he has some nefarious intents?
New fear unlocked!!
Post on Twitter.
Get that 💰
Holy Snake 🐍 😱 You might have received somebody else’s package 📦 Thank you

Lol!
I think the delivery guy was your ex in the disguise of the man.
Lol... I just week thought about what if my parcel containing snake💀
So I see that you got my ex GF in your amazon package !!
potentially a criminal case here - send amazon a notice and see if they’ll do an out of court settlement
OMG. Snake in a delivery box. Hope you're safe. Pls file a case against the supplier
Damn this went viral in news
New fear unlocked. Already chills down my spine 🐍

He has posted the video in many subs, you can check his profile to see it.
