She Got The Wrong Parcel In 2015, Opened It In 2025. Wrapped Inside Was Nostalgia
A woman opened a parcel she'd left unopened for 10 years after receiving the wrong order. What she found inside has captivated millions on social media
In a world where next-day delivery is the norm, most of us would struggle to leave a parcel unopened for more than a few hours, let alone 10 years. But that's exactly what one woman did after receiving the wrong order from an online fashion retailer. Told to keep the package, she tucked it away and forgot about it. Now, nearly a decade later, her decision to finally open it sparked curiosity and amusement across social media, offering a nostalgic glimpse into mid-2010s fashion and raising a few unexpected questions.
A peculiar story has captured the attention of social media users: a woman recently opened a parcel that had been delivered back in 2015 or 2016, which she had kept unopened for nearly a decade. Instagram user Jess, known online as @sideofsequins, posted a video revealing the long-forgotten delivery. The clip has since racked up millions of views. [ Watch the video here ]
The Wrong Parcel, But No Need To Return It!
In the video, Jess explains that she originally ordered clothes from the fashion brand Missguided in 2015. However, she received the wrong items. When she contacted the company, they responded, 'We don't want the parcel back; you can keep it." Rather than opening it at the time, Jess simply stored it away. Now, almost 10 years later, she finally decided to see what was inside.
The first item she discovered was a voucher that had expired in 2016, confirming the year of the delivery. Next was a cream-coloured bodysuit with a tie detail. Jess laughed, saying, 'I don't know how to wear this. Now that I'm pregnant, I definitely can't wear it!"
A Fashion Time Capsule
As the video continues, Jess unveils more items from the mystery parcel. She reveals a pencil skirt, likely intended to be part of a coordinated outfit, followed by another pencil skirt featuring a lace-up design. Other pieces included a white button-down top, a black shirt with lace accents, and a basic crop top.
With amusement, Jess commented, 'Back in the mid-2010s, we were all dressing like we worked in an office by day and went clubbing by night. This is a snapshot of that era."
The video has received 3.4 million views, drawing a wave of reactions. Many viewers were shocked that she hadn't opened the parcel sooner. One user remarked, 'As soon as they told you to keep it, why didn't you open it right away?"
A Moment Of Reflection
Jess closed the video with some poignant thoughts: 'I wonder who these clothes were actually meant for. Where was that woman planning to wear them? Did I ever get my original order? And did she get hers?"

Su From So: How a low-budget Kannada film gained nationwide attention
'The secret everyone pretended not to know' is officially revealed - that's what Raj B Shetty wrote in his caption as his character reveal poster from the Kannada blockbuster film 'Su From So' was shared on social media, weeks after the film's re. While the makers' call to keep his cameo appearance a secret is brilliant and understandable, why did the audience choose to 'pretend not to know'?advertisementIn a world where the biggest surprises and cameo appearances immediately go viral on X and Instagram, the audience chose to enjoy this pleasant surprise and also save it for those watching the next show. Now, this is a rare occasion we hardly see happening. It only happens when viewers accept a film as their own and contribute to its success in more ways than just at the ticket counter. Raj B Shetty's X post revealing his character from the recent Kannada film 'Su From So' 'Su From So', by debutant director JP Thuminad, released in theatres across Karnataka on July 25, with little to no promotions prior to release. Banking solely on word of mouth, quite literally, using it as their marketing campaign by organising paid premieres across Karnataka and capturing audience reactions and reviews, the makers created enough buzz that, within a couple of days, it started spreading like wildfire. The social drama/comedy film has crossed the Rs 50 crore-mark at the box office. The film has sold more than one million tickets on BookMyShow, making it one of the few Kannada films to achieve this feat. 'Su From So' was released across Kerala in Malayalam on August 1 and has shown an upward trend in terms of audience reception and box office performance. The fact that this film was made on a budget of only Rs 6 crore, makes all the other numbers look exponentially more pleasing.'Su From So', having been produced by Raj B Shetty's Lighter Buddha Films, was picked up by Dulquer Salmaan's Wayfarer Films for distribution across Kerala. After release, Anil Thadani's AA Films acquired the North India distribution rights, while Mythri Movie Makers acquired the rights to dub the film in Telugu and distribute it across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The film was also released internationally by Phars Film and has been expanding its theatrical reach in several important centres.'Bandaro Bandaro Bava Bandaroo' has been on my playlist for a while, and that's just a background tune for the entry of a secondary character. The love has not been limited to the film but to every individual character in it. Requests for Ravi Anna to get a spin-off film, people dressing up children to look like Bava, Ashoka, Bhanu, Satish Anna, and Chandranna - all are fan favourites. Let's not forget Karunakara Guruji, played by Raj B Shetty - since we don't have to keep it a secret these are character that are unforgettable in the movie, we still have to keep the story a secret as 'Su From So' is gearing up for release in other languages. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Raj B Shetty (@rajbshetty)The minimal marketing strategy was an interesting approach that other filmmakers should use as a reference for their strategies. The makers organised promotional paid premieres in key locations of Karnataka, starting with Mangaluru, Shivamogga, Mysuru, and finally the time the team reached Mysuru to promote the film, the hype built by the promotional videos from the premieres in Mangaluru and Shivamogga compelled the makers to add extra shows in Mysuru and Bengaluru. This strategy worked wonders for the film, especially given the lethargy among viewers towards promotions restricted to interviews and mega events This is not the first time an 'underdog' film from Kannada cinema has piqued the audience's interest through a unique marketing strategy. 'Hostel Hudugaru Bekagiddare', a 2023 Kannada college comedy film, grabbed attention right from its title reveal - and the innovative marketing campaign backed the film so much that people still refer to it as the last complete comedy entertainer before 'Su From So'.Raj B Shetty's very first film as a director and actor, 'Ondu Motteya Kathe and 'Rangitaranga', Rishab Shetty's directorial 'Sarkari Hiriya Prathamika Shaale', Kasaragodu', 'Karva', and 'Love Mocktail' are some examples of underdog films that were accepted and loved by the audience, who carried these films to hit a time when digital noise often drowns out genuine creativity, films like 'Su From So' remind us that strong storytelling, authentic characters, and audience trust are still the most effective marketing tools that have now helped it gain nationwide attention. With every such underdog victory, the industry carves out a stronger identity on the national stage.'Su From So', short for Sulochana from Someshwara, features Shaneel Gautham, JP Thuminad, Sandhya Arakere, Prakash K Thuminadu, Deepak Rai Panaje, and Mime Ramdas, among others. The music for the film has been composed by Sumedh K, and it has been produced by Shashidhar Shetty Baroda, Ravi Rai Kalasa, and Raj B Shetty. This film comes highly recommended - and watching it as a community experience will only make it better for you.- EndsMUST WATCH:
