Kolkata: A football fan in Kolkata didn't want to disturb his family while watching late-night World Cup matches. So he ordered two sets of headphones from Flipkart.
When the package arrived, there were no headphones, only a bottle of oil.
The furious customer called the number printed on the package to complain.
He also shared the number with friends, who received the same message.
This morning, the football fan also received a call from the online shopping portal. "Please use the oil sent to you accidentally. Or throw it away. We are sending you the headphones. Sadly, we have only one pair at the moment. We can only give that one. We will refund your money for the other set," the customer was told.
"The phone company must have just re-allotted the number, as is done when a number has been surrendered and there is no activity for six months," said the portal.
