Online shopping is booming and people are purchasing their daily use products from online retail platforms as they get delivered within a few days or even the same day in some cases. But a bizarre incident took place recently with a Mumbai boy, Ahsan Kharbai, who received a call from Flipkart customer support for an order that he had placed six years ago.
He shared this strange incident on X (formerly known as Twitter) and also attached a screenshot of his order history. Kharbai ordered a pair of Sparx Slippers in May 2018. While sharing the screenshot, he wrote, "After 6 yrs @Flipkart called me for this order asking me what issue I was facing."

His order totalling Rs 485 was supposedly shipped on May 19, 2018, with a delivery date set for May 20. Surprisingly, he never received the slippers leaving Kharbai's long-standing unresolved order on his account.

In his interview with Hindustan Times, Kharbai said that he was surprised when he received a call for his 6-year-old order.
He said, “They never arrived and it always showed arriving today on their app.” It is still showing arriving today on his Flipkart account.
“Recently, I clicked on this order just to see what it shows. And then yesterday, I received a call from Flipkart asking what issue I was facing with the order,” he told HT. Flipkart customer support representative asked if I received any call from the logistics team and ended up saying, ‘we are very sorry for this sir.’
