40 Comically Hilarious Online Shopping Fails

There’s a reason so many people are wary of online shopping. There’s a high possibility that you won’t get what you ordered or anything at all. In fact, you may even have seen a hilarious video or two with someone showing off how different an item they purchased looks from what was advertised on the website. In case you haven’t seen it, however, this collection of “what I ordered versus what I received” images are a visual warning to anyone looking to do some online shopping because it happens more often than you think.

I was feeling a little frisky when I ordered this one piece catsuit. Turns out it was the creepiest looking thing I had ever seen, and there was no way to shrink myself into the dam thing. I kinda want to hang it in someone’s room at night and see what happens. The way the little fingers move is more than I can handle. Feet for size reference.

I bought this somewhat vintage hardcover off eBay over a year ago, so can’t return it, but only bought it to upgrade my paperback copy. I went to read Dune again and realized there were a ton of pages missing. Who does something like this!?

#40 What I Ordered vs. What I Got

Image source: Scuddie-

Ordered this mask almost a month ago hoping to get a good deal. Believe people when they say if it’s to good it’s probably not true. Where do I even begin with this monstrosity. The material looks nothing like advertised. It’s not stretchy whatsoever it feels like it came from the dollar store. The hair is very clearly fake there’s stains on the back half of the mask there’s NO mouth hole and it’s three sizes to big for any normal persons head. Not to mention it smells like battery acid. They removed the ability to review the products shortly after people started receiving them for obvious reasons. And I will 1000% be using the 30 day return policy. I just can’t see why anyone would think this looks even remotely similar. Maybe if I was blind and had never seen a human I might fall for this mask but I refuse to let this thing rot in the closet it can go right back where it came from. A month wasted and I still have to ship it back. Safe to say I’ll never be ordering from this group again.
