A recent report from a Telegram channel described a bizarre mixup involving a patient in Moscow and a shipment intended for diabetes treatment. The account notes that a Muscovite woman ordered injections marketed as Ozempik meant to aid diabetes management, hoping for a practical medical outcome. Instead, she received a surprise in the form of a box filled with books. The initial delivery yielded a stack of literature rather than medicine, a mishap that has drawn attention from local authorities. Basis, a Telegram outlet, first highlighted the incident and its peculiar twist. (Basis Telegram channel)

According to the report, the purchaser believed the product would be a legitimate injectable medication for diabetes. What arrived instead appeared to be a package of literary works. The experience was described as a pleasant but unexpected discovery, as the recipient noticed the mismatch only after opening the box. The stark contrast between the expected pharmaceutical product and the actual shipment raised questions about the seller’s handling of orders and fulfillment practices. (Basis Telegram channel)

Following the initial event, the case grew more complex. The Muscovite reportedly shared details of the experience with a friend, leading them to place an order for seven packs of the same medicine at a total price of 87,000 rubles. When the second delivery was attempted, the recipient again received a shipment containing four books instead of the prescribed medical product. The titles included Vanity Fair, An American Tragedy, Martin Eden, and The Great Gatsby, all university-age classics that have little to do with medical treatments. (Basis Telegram channel)

The seller claimed that the replacement occurred during the delivery process, suggesting a mix-up at the point of dispatch or transit. Law enforcement agencies have indicated that the matter is currently under investigation, as officials review the sequence of events and assess responsibility for the misdelivery. The ongoing inquiry aims to determine whether the mix-up reflects a broader pattern or a one-time error in fulfillment. (Basis Telegram channel)

Meanwhile, in a separate but related note, a resident of Noginsk reportedly faced personal consequences arising from similar administrative or logistical issues. The individual was said to be involved in a situation connected to a capital apartment and a custodial sentence, illustrating how seemingly minor package problems can intersect with other life events. These narratives underscore the wider concerns about supply chain integrity, patient access to legitimate medicines, and the importance of secure, accurate fulfillment practices in e-commerce and pharmaceutical distribution.
