A man who ordered a mobile phone was left shocked after claiming he was sent a grenade in the post instead.
The unnamed buyer said he put in an order for the electronic device online.
The package had been taken in by his mum who left the parcel on the kitchen table.
But when he tore open the package he was horrified to find what was inside.
The concerned customer immediately phoned authorities to flag the explosive device.
Bomb disposal units arrived at his home in Guanajuato, Mexico last Monday (21 Aug).
Police and officers from the Ministry of National Defence erected a fenced cordon outside the man’s home.
It is not known why the grenade was sent to the customer’s address.
Army officers were able to deactivate the device.
Authorities have now launched an investigation into the rogue package.
It is against the law to own a grenade in the country.
