Imagine this: you order a product on the internet and wait days—or even weeks—for it to arrive. When the parcel finally shows up, the thing inside barely resembles what you ordered. Then again, maybe you don't have to imagine this. Maybe you know the pain of dealing with a refund system that seems designed to test your will to live.
To illustrate just how funny and frustrating online shopping can be, we've collected a set of pictures showing people's most disappointing experiences with it. From tiny pools to terrible knock-offs, these examples prove you must always read the reviews before checking out.

#6 Ordered A $1000 Graphics Card From Amazon, Received 4 Cans Of Beef Ravioli
It showed up in the sealed Amazon box, and inside that, the graphics card box still had intact security stickers and shrinkwrap. Taking it up with support, but also screaming internally for fear that they'll think I'm the one scamming and won't refund or replace.

#7 What I Ordered vs. What I Got
My wife ordered a very nice Irish Sweater from a site called ArtsWardrobe.com.
So it looked like a really awesome knit (actually a fairly complicated pattern) in the image.
She ordered it and got a printed sweatshirt with poorly-sewn hems on a low quality polyester fabric.
Description says “knitted” not printed.
TLDR: don’t order from ArtsWardrobe.com
