A WOMAN who bought a leather chair from Amazon reportedly found something she didn't order when she unboxed her purchase.
Jen Begakis shared details of the discovery on social media, saying what she found left her "terrified" and "lost for words."
Begakis, a doctoral candidate at Cornell University, shared the discovery in a tweet.
"If I told you the leather chair I ordered from Amazon was packaged with a blood collection tube that is … full, would you believe me? because I'm lost for — words," she wrote.
Begakis added: "I'm as terrified as I am confused."
She later tweeted: "I'll be back I'm taking nine showers in fear."
Begakis said she reached out to Amazon after receiving the package.
After waiting for a response, she said she heard from a customer service representative who offered her a full refund on the chair she purchased, as well as a $100 Amazon credit.
She shared the email she received from the company on Twitter.
It reads in part: "First and foremost, I'm truly sorry for your experience! I can certainly understand the concern of receiving bodily fluids in your package.
