Media personality Jeridah Andayi’s daughter, Norah Zawadi, recently experienced a frustrating yet oddly humorous incident while in the United States. The former Alliance Girls’ High School student had been looking forward to receiving a brand-new iPhone 13. Sadly, her excitement quickly turned to disbelief after she opened the box only to discover it was a counterfeit device.
Jeridah, who had purchased the phone for her daughter, couldn’t help but laugh at the situation—even though she had footed the bill. The ordeal began after Norah insisted they drive 30 minutes to collect the package. Jeridah later admitted the distance felt like a trek and added to her irritation. However, once they arrived and Norah began unboxing the package in the car, the mood shifted.
Norah was visibly thrilled, holding the brown box on her lap. But that excitement vanished the moment she revealed a poorly packaged gadget wrapped in blue cellotape—clearly not an authentic Apple product. “What is this?” she exclaimed, stunned. Her mother, despite her own frustration, burst into laughter as she watched Norah’s confused expression.
The moment was caught on video by Norah’s younger sister, who was equally surprised by the contents. Jeridah sarcastically quipped that she was ready to find her way back home, still amused by the unexpected twist.
Jeridah later shared the incident with her followers online, asking if anyone else had ever experienced a similar online shopping disappointment. Her post attracted sympathetic and amused reactions from netizens, some of whom shared their own misadventures with online orders. Op
Despite the setback, the humorous angle brought some levity to the situation. It served as a reminder of the risks involved in online purchases, even when dealing with what appear to be trusted platforms.
