A woman named Kiran Manral received an unsolicited cash-on-delivery parcel carrying her correct name and address but no sender details, which her son paid for and opened to find a half-torn, used kurta inside.
When Kiran approached Delhivery regarding the suspicious package, she was reportedly told to recover the money herself from the unknown sender, leaving her with no clarity on how to secure a refund.
Other social media users advised avoiding cash-on-delivery payments entirely, always verifying the sender's identity before accepting or paying for any package, and formally filing an online complaint with evidence.
