A package that turned into a nightmare
When she opened her Nordstrom parcel, Christine Evans didn't expect to see anything other than her £89 'Not Your Daughter's Jean.' However, when she put her hand in the right pocket of her brand-new jeans, she made a discovery that was dubious, to say the least: a dirty, worn-out thong!

Another tweet from devastated Evans read:
A loyal, card-holding customer. As a nurse, the numerous amount of health hazards this issue presents is astounding.More under this adMore under this ad
Mending ways
Quickly, the brand responded to her request on the social network:
We apologise for the inconvenience. Could you please send us more details in a private message along with your order number? We would like to look into this further.
After some time, the brand eventually offered Evans a replacement pair of jeans and told her that it was aware that no amount of money could fix the mistake. Even then, Evans found the 'responses from customer service employees did not reflect the severity of the situation.'
