Until a few years ago, online shopping was just another way to shop. If you couldn’t find what you were looking for in a physical store, buying it online was the last option. However, this has increased considerably with the pandemic, something that has resulted in a huge lack of control in company logistics, so it is not surprising that things do not always go as they should and that more than one person end up with the wrong product.
That’s why we compiled some of the funniest, weirdest and most frustrating experiences of what happens when online shopping goes wrong, a good example of expectation vs. reality.
1. Smell fresh Cajun aroma has been said!
This is how Amazon delivered my bath soaps. I wonder what they expect me to do with an injectable cajun marinade.
2. I think the person above has your marinade
I keep trying to buy my injectable cajun marinade, but bath soaps keep coming.
3. What an adorable pug!
We ordered toothbrushes on Ebay from China, but received an eye mask instead. I’m not mad about the mistake, I’ll use it wisely.
4. They’re supposed to hold it in their hands, duh!
My family recently moved to Florida and wanted to protect them from the sun.
5. However they look more comfortable
The truth is that sometimes you don’t expect much from AliExpress, but damn!

Thanks to this woman’s Amazon review, I immediately removed this dress from my cart.

My son turned one year old yesterday. This was the astronaut cake topper for him. On the left, the one we ask for and on the right, the one we receive.
9. This was not what they asked for
For my son’s first birthday, the cake on the left is the one we ordered, the one on the right, the one we received.
10. Maybe just the teeth are a little different.
One person ordered the left painting from an Instagram ‘artist’, who blocked it after delivery.

My Wish face mask finally arrived!
13. The crossover from Lilo & Stitch and the gremlins that no one asked

My mom ordered a $40 Memorial Day wreath for my grandfather, who is a Vietnam veteran.
15. I hope it’s small feet
My friend ordered this rug online. Whatever it is, she got this instead.
16. Always make sure you order in the right category
PERSONAL NOTE: When ordering socks online, remember that 6/7 refers to age, not shoe size.
17. Cousin Eddie looks cooler
When you buy your Halloween costume on Wish. I ordered Freddie, but I think it’s his cousin Eddie.
18. Oh the satisfaction of shopping online!
Two different colors, two different sizes and both on the left foot. They are perfect!
