She compared Amazon’s return processes in India and Canada and said, ’We (Indians) are privileged.’

"I love my country," said Selene Khosla, an Indian-origin woman residing in Canada, in a recent video that has gone viral on social media. Walking in the bright sun, with sunglasses and a cap on, Kholsa can be heard pointing out how "privileged" Indians are.

Actually, Khosla, a psychologist and leadership trainer, made the video when she was on her way to a post office in Canada to return an Amazon package.

She compared Amazon's return processes in India and Canada and said, "We [Indians] are privileged."

"One of the cultural shocks I encountered after moving to Canada is that, unlike in India, where Amazon offers a 30-day return policy and the delivery person picks up the item, here you have to pack it yourself, print the label, and find a printer," she said. "Because no service delivers printouts to your home like Swiggy does in India."

Khosla also said that after printing the label, the person has to attach it to the box and deliver it to the nearest post office for return.
