Sofia’s post quickly gained attention, highlighting a bizarre situation that raised concerns beyond just a simple mix-up. She later expressed her frustration by updating the viewers of her post that,

“We already know that it was the responsibility of @amazon because the reptile was put in the bag where the air fryer was packaged.”

It is important to note that this situation is not just a funny mishap, as having a foreign animal in a package can have serious health implications, potentially introducing diseases or pests.

Sofia showed her disappointment replying,

“I already did it and the only solution they gave me was a refund of the money and return of the airfryer, which I have to bear the cost of shipping because I am in Colombia, not the United States… so that solution does not work for me.”

Ya lo hice y la única solución que me dieron fue reembolso del dinero y devolución de la airfryer el cual el costo del envío me toca asumirlo a mí porque estoy en Colombia no en Estados Unidos … así que esa solución no me sirve
