Buying online is actually convenient for many of us. It lets you buy the things that you need without leaving the comfort of your home.

Ecommerce platforms are rampant nowadays especially now that we’re in a pandemic. The good thing is they are accessible and you can visit them anytime you want.

The convenience that it brings to us is incomparable.

However, there are also times where you would experience online shopping nightmares. Just like getting damaged products and wrong items.

These 15 people also experienced different online shopping fails and some of them are hilarious!

1. It was not made for him.

This guy posted what he received when he bought a “Kinfine Boys Arm Chair” from Amazon. He called his failed purchase “Amazon misunderstanding” because what he received was way smaller than he expected. I just wish that he had younger siblings who could use this little thing.

2. Expensive scam

Imagine buying an expensive smartphone online than receiving a piece of rock right after? That’s totally heartbreaking! I hope that the real culprit was identified in this case. No one deserves to experience this!

3. Not-so-gummy

This is a bottle of gummy vitamins that’s why when the buyer of this one saw what was inside, he shared it online. He deserved to get a replacement so I hope he got one.

4. Refreshing socks

This photo has gone massively viral on Twitter with more than 380,000 likes! Probably because it’s too funny. Now if you’re interested to get Spripe, Coco Colo, and Peepi socks, you can visit this link that was shared by the uploader of this photo.

5. How could they enjoy this?

This photo saddened me a bit because I can imagine how these two adorable canines would enjoy a real dog swimming pool. They deserve a new one. Don’t you agree?

6. Disappointed but make it fab!

I can feel the disappointment of Pinky Pugh with this mini couch set. But I love how she managed to make it look fab in photos. As many people felt bad for her, someone even put up a GoFundMe to help her buy a new couch and she deserves it.

7. Do it yourself

The uploader shared the story behind this photo. She wrote:

“The one on the left is what my mom ordered for our cats, the right one is what arrived in the mail.”

If the seller was the one who failed to mention that it’s a DIY thing or what they were selling were ropes, then the buyer should have received a refund.

8. Not even close

This is a big purchase and I’m sure that the buyer was extremely disappointed. The appearance, the color, and almost everything about it was different from what they expected. I wonder if they could even put a bed on there?!

9. This is more heartbreaking for Marvel fans.

Either you’re an action figure and toy collector, or a Marvel fan, this will disappoint you in more ways than one. The infinity gauntlet wields an immense amount of power because of the infinity stones, but this knock-off, well – too disappointing! But there’s actually a story behind this.

“A mate of mine ordered an infinity gauntlet from a dodgy website that only asked for postage. Got his card cloned, had various credit accounts opened in his name, and received this in the post weeks later.”

10. I’m confused!

The buyer of this mug thought that she would get a mug with the design in the left photo. Well, that was what she exactly got. It’s just that the mug was also included in the design and it’s hilarious! LOL!

11. That’s it?

The uploader of this photo shared that this meditation book that he posted surprised him a lot.

“I ordered a meditation book from Amazon and every page just says inhale and exhale.”

If you would check it out on Amazon, you would see that it costs $8.75. But in the description, there’s an explanation why every page has the same content written- which was “inhale” and “exhale”.

12. Why, though?

I just don’t understand sellers who use photos that are far from what they really sell. It was a good thing that the buyer of this got a refund. It’s just that the money that they spent on the shipping fee was not refunded.

13. Deceiving

Here is another deceiving photo that a seller posted just to make sales. Is it that hard to be honest and transparent to their customers? I hope they would be reminded that to be able to have a successful business, they should gain their customers’ trust first.

14. Fake spotted

This is one of the most heartbreaking online shopping nightmares that I’ve seen. The buyer spent $600 on an Apple watch and this is what he received. When it comes to gadgets, it’s really safer to buy from authorized and accredited stores.

15. I feel bad for the celebrant.

I just hope that the celebrant was not a kid because I would really feel sad for him. I also hope that the taste of the cake was good. Because if not, I don’t know what to say anymore.
