Online shopping is designed to be convenient but there are defiantly downsides to it – You never know if the pictures online are true or not. The scale, details, materials are ambiguous, so getting high hopes can turn you down. Then the least favorite part of online shopping comes along – waiting. It could get stuck in customs, the wrong product could’ve been sent by mistake, it might get broken in transit. For all of you who experienced disappointment by online shopping, we have collected the times when it went wrong so hard that it’s not sad but hilarious. Hope you have more luck for the next time you get something online!

This Patch I Ordered Off Amazon…

Of course on rare occasions it can go the other way, and you can receive something even better than what you expected. I know which badge I’d prefer in this case! Sometimes the world makes us all want to pack up and leave

This is amazing on so many levels; from the spelling mistake to the artists impression of the Royal couple. Although some might say, it’s actually pretty accurate! Either way, this is definitely a collector’s item.

Photo Evidence Of Earrings That Never Arrived

ADVERTISEMENT

 
ADVERTISEMENT

How do you provide photo evidence of something that’s not there? This Twitter user ordered some earrings on the popular Chinese online retailer AliExpress, and they just didn’t show up. It’s probably happened to you too at one point, hasn’t it? Usually the company will find the problem and make sure the product gets to you ASAP, but not this time. They wanted to be sure they weren’t being tricked. “Show us that you don’t have the earrings,” they demanded. WTF?? This is Iris’ cheeky attempt to comply.

Kanye West’s laughably overpriced and deeply ugly ‘fashion’ pieces are funny enough anyway, so it’s hard to feel much sympathy for anyone who shells out hundreds of bucks for them. But when they arrive looking like oven-mitts for the feet… Yeah nah still no sympathy here.

It’s all about perspective. Like any business, people on Airbnb want to show what they have from its very best side, even if that means that the reality doesn’t always match up to expectations…You gotta give them 5 stars for trying though!

Incredible Unicorn Calendar From Amazon

ADVERTISEMENT

 
ADVERTISEMENT

So far, this gem has a 1-star rating on Amazon and judging by the reviews, it doesn’t look like it’s going to rise anytime soon. Buyers are complaining that “the photos inside are not at all like the cover.” They are line and stick drawings, not mythical scenes. But I guess that’s why they wouldn’t allow clients to preview the contents.

Mistake number 1: Ponchos for guys are never cool, unless you are deep in the Andes, sipping mate and herding llamas with the locals.

Mistake number 2: Ordering anything online and expecting to look as effortlessly stylish as the model. Not gonna happen, Friar Tuck!

I’ve Actually Been Trolled By China. I Ordered The One On The Left From AliExpress And The One On The Right Turned Up

Ok, the good thing is that the seller accepts returns “if product is not as described.” The bad thing is that the buyer has to pay the return shipping fee. But why either of these products were ever conceived of and manufactured, we’ll never know.

Halloween can be a stressful time: choosing the costume, ordering it, trying it on. And what if they send you the least thing you’ve expected?

What I Ordered Vs. What Was Delivered. I Paid $135 For This Mess…

It’s hard to believe these aren’t before and after photos from an episode of Nailed It!

This woman actually ordered a cake for her sisters baby shower. “Five minutes before the shower started this monstrosity showed up. I was shocked. I had to leave the shower to go to the grocery store and get a sheet cake. The worst part was when I contacted the caterer and they didn’t want to refund my money because “it was servible/edible.” !

This guy’s wife thought she got a great ‘lightning’ deal for a skillet on Amazon paying just $5. After arrival, though, they discovered this was a pan only suitable for a Barbie.

And what is in that pic, a cherry tomato and a lizard egg? Cooking dinner in this tiny skillet is certainly one way to keep the calories down!

I Ordered A Smart Light Bulb And Got A Chrome Fidget Spinner In A Light Bulb Box

ADVERTISEMENT

 
ADVERTISEMENT

The review he left on Amazon was spot on:

“I ordered this item on a cold Sunday night, and was pleasantly surprised on Monday morning when a package arrived with my name on it. I eagerly opened my Amazon package, giddy with the promise of 120 colours to brighten up my bedroom, and when I found a light bulb sized box emblazoned with the words “Smart RGBW Bulb” I was delighted, all was going to plan.

However, my hopes of multi-coloured illumination came crashing down, I was shocked. I felt as if the 265 volts that were meant to be running through my smart light bulb were running through me. To my dismay, and with a growing feeling of confusion, I realized I was not the proud owner of a WIFI Smart Bulb, I was instead the bewildered owner of a chrome fidget spinner, fidget spinner case, and a small screwdriver (despite there seeming to be no screw head on the spinner).

Now, with my tail between my legs, and Hermes en route to collect my fidget spinner, I am forced to endure additional nights of bland, colourless light.

I have many questions, where is my bulb? Why did a fidget spinner come in a light bulb box? Why is this available on prime? Who hired someone who can confused a light bulb and a fidget spinner, and how dark must their house be? All questions I doubt I will ever get answers to.

I’m summary, order a different light bulb. Unless you want a fidget spinner, then this is the light bulb for you.”
