A woman in Anhui Province drew wide attention after saying she had received a package with only a box of yogurt inside after buying an iPhone online.
In a video spread on Weibo on Friday, the woman surnamed Liu said she spent 10,099 yuan to buy an iPhone 12 Pro Max (256G) on Apple’s official website on February 16, only to receive a package with a box of apple-flavored yogurt inside two days later.
Liu said she didn’t directly get the package from the courier. “The courier said he put the package in a parcel locker in my residential community, and I didn’t [complain],” she said.
Local police said on Thursday that Liu’s case appeared to be one of theft. Earlier, both Apple and Express Mail Service (EMS) – told Liu that they are launching an investigation.
An EMS customer service staffer said on Friday that the incident is still under investigation. “We have appointed colleagues to specially deal with it,” she said. Apple gave a similar response, saying the investigation is still ongoing.
Liu’s experience sparked heated discussion on Chinese social media on Friday, with many Weibo users guessing at the possible wrongdoers behind the case.
“I think it might be courier company employees who replaced the iPhone,” wrote a Weibo user. He added that he had a similar experience days earlier – he received an empty shoe box after buying a pair of limited-edition shoes on Nike’s official shopping site.
Some users guessed that Liu bought her iPhone from a fake site instead of Apple’s official one. “There are many copycat shopping sites,” one user wrote.
