In one of the strangest delivery mishaps ever seen, a man in India has finally received a pressure cooker from Amazon—a full two years after he canceled the order. The bizarre incident has since gone viral, sparking both amusement and confusion across social media.
The man, Jay (@thetrickytrade), initially ordered the pressure cooker back on October 1, 2022. However, he quickly changed his mind and canceled the order, receiving a refund shortly after. All seemed to be resolved, until, in a twist no one saw coming, the long-lost pressure cooker was mysteriously delivered to his doorstep on August 28, 2024—a whopping two years later!
Viral Social Media Post
Jay couldn’t resist sharing the comical moment with his followers. “Thank you, Amazon, for delivering my order after 2 years. The cook is elated after the prolonged wait, must be a very special pressure cooker!” he posted on X (formerly Twitter). The post quickly gained traction, accumulating reactions and comments from amused users.
Social Media’s Hilarious Reactions
As expected, the online world couldn’t help but poke fun at the situation. One user joked, “Must be handcrafted by very skilled craftsmen,” while another added, “You should be happy it was custom-made… right down to mining the aluminum!” Others speculated that the cooker had traveled from a parallel universe or had been delivered straight from Mars, given the long delay.
One user shared a similar experience, “Wasn’t your order marked as canceled? They did something like that to me with a TV—they lost it, sent me a replacement, and months later, the original one showed up. It was like a glitch in the system!”
The conversation continued to roll with humor as another commented, “It’s the most ‘prestigious’ cooker, a limited edition. You’re lucky to have got it. I’m still waiting for mine from the same dimension.”
Amazon’s Response
Amid the chaos, Amazon did respond to Jay’s viral post with an apology. “Hi there, we’re sorry to hear this. Kindly report this to our support team.” But Jay, clearly taking the situation in stride, humorously replied, “Report what? The order was canceled and refunded back in 2022… and delivered out of nowhere yesterday. How do I pay for it now?”
A Delivery Mishap to Remember
While delivery delays are common, receiving a package two years after cancellation takes the cake—or in this case, the pressure cooker. Whether it was a system glitch or some other unexplainable error, Jay’s story has certainly added to the long list of unusual customer experiences with the e-commerce giant.
The incident serves as a reminder that even in the era of high-tech logistics, the unexpected can still happen. And when it does, it can leave us both baffled and entertained.
