A couple in Bengaluru was shocked after receiving a snake in their Xbox controller package from Amazon. The video showed a cobra stuck to packaging tape and could not get loose.
The viral video opened with the Amazon package kept in a red bucket. The venomous snake could be seen stuck in the black duct tape with Amazon Prime written on it. The snake could be seen moving and trying to crawl out.
Sharing the video on X, a user Aaraynsh wrote, “A family ordered an Xbox controller on Amazon and ended up getting a live cobra in Sarjapur Road. Luckily, the venomous snake was stuck to the packaging tape. India is not for beginners.”

Many social media users expressed their shock with one saying, “Losing my trust to online delivery these days. A few days ago, delivery boy asked me to collect the product from their regional office because he thought my home was too far for him.” Another user joked, “So Amazon is now delivering cobra as well, that’s why Amazon is the leader in online shopping.”
“Bhai ne amazon forest se order kardiya hoga (Bro must have ordered it from Amazon forest),” a third user reacted.
According to a report in India Today, the couple received their Amazon package directly from the delivery partner. The couple filmed the entire incident and also had eyewitnesses.
Amazon has refunded the full amount, however, the couple raised questions about the risk to their lives due to the e-commerce site’s negligence and poor supervision, reports said.
