Usually, it's a mistake by e-commerce brands like Amazon who end up delivery the wrong item and some by fluke ends up with something amazing like brand new headphones. This was no mistake though, it was all part of Tesco's 'Super Substitutes' promotion which will run till April 18th 2021. The supermarket chain is giving away, Apple iPhones, AirPods & Samsung gadgets to luck customers.

Last year, Pune-based Gautam Rege who had ordered a lotion worth Rs. 300 and recieved the Bose SoundSport Free wireless earbuds that are priced at Rs. 19,000. When Rege contacted Amazon India about the wrong product delivery, he was asked to keep the truly wireless earbuds as the order was non-refundable. In addition to this, Rs. 300 was also refunded since it was a wrong order.
