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.
#21 Not What I Expected
Ordered this from Walmart's website. What I ordered versus what I got. Yes, I tried “fluffing it” and tried to make it look comparable to what it’s supposed to look like. The bow isn’t even the same. There’s so much glue all over it. It’s a lost cause.

#26 Ordered A Bike For My Daughter, Assembled It Today And No Seat
Contacted Walmart, and they said they just can't send a seat. We gotta mail it back. Then they'll send the replacement.

#31 Finally Decided To Order A Skims Bra And This Was What I Got When I Opened The Package
I’m so upset too because this size and color are now sold out. Customer support waived return fees but that doesn’t help me get the bra I wanted (without someone else’s eyelashes attached!) 😩.

Nothing a quick blow with a hammer on the side of the case couldn't fix, but still...

#33 Ordered A Jacket From Adidas… And Got A Tricky Problem To Solve Instead
It was on sale and the last in my size. It’s comfortable and fits great, perfect for walking the half-pictured dog… Guess I will meet lots of new people in the mall today once I go around asking if anyone is able to remove it for me.

#38 Ordered Flowers For My Assistant At Work As A Thank You Gift
No, HR, I didn’t mean to imply she’s a stoner. Of course, I don’t think jokes like this are appropriate at work.
