15 People Who Took a Risk Making a Purchase Online, and It Paid Off

Let’s be honest: our expectations often differ from reality. When we order things online, we usually receive something really different. Even restaurant dishes can look completely different from their pictures on the menu. But the heroes of this article got lucky and managed to purchase goods that turned out to be even better than they imagined.

At Bright Side, we’re really happy for those who managed to have successful shopping experiences.

“I took a chance and ordered the dress despite the comments that said it was too big, the waist was in the wrong place, the collar was too wide, and it smelled bad. The dress is just super.”

When the actual product is better than the promo image:

“I’m in Tbilisi. I’ve just received my ice-cream in a hot waffle.”

“My burrito looks better than the menu picture.”

“My cake (on the right) came out better than expected.”
