Nobody is safe from little troubles, even though sometimes we feel like these are the worst mistakes we’ve ever made. The people from this article know from their own experience that they should always be on the lookout and that danger may be lurking around every corner. Especially when it comes to online orders.

“My colleague bought a Harley and wanted some boots. He was impressed with the $39 price tag online. Not so much when they arrived.”

“It said it came with 10 large stones.”

“They’d better give me a refund.”

“I’ve brushed its fur for 10 minutes.”

“Expectation vs Reality, after a 6-month back order from West Elm”

“Children’s party entertainer (Alice in Wonderland)”

“I just won this clock.”

“Wow. The wall will look nice.”

This photo was more accurate than I’d realized.

It’s... not even a cardigan.

“I’ve been tricked by the packaging of my moisturizing cream.”

“It didn’t come with nearly enough thread, but this is possibly entirely my fault.”

Bread for scale

“I decided to give my 14-year-old daughter a surprise — an unusual photo shoot. 2 weeks later we got the pics. And these cost us $200.”

probably it does, if people post their photos. Plus, it depends on where you order it. Sites like aliexpress and wish sometimes send some weird things that are not the same as was in the photo

there are always good and trustworthy websites, and some scam ones.. Though fails sometimes happen even on amazon or eBay. That's why you always need to check the seller

These all look like fake stories. Every single one looks like it was set up to make us think those people were cheated

I ordered 3 pieces of clothes hanger stand and after 21 days, they initiated a refund for two of them and I am still waiting for the third one. But they have already sent an email asking for product review. I wonder what I should review.
