1.8 billion people make online purchases in the world, which is almost a quarter of the world’s population. For most of them, everything goes smoothly and without surprises, but for some “lucky ones” online shopping becomes a real disaster.
We hope these 20 unfortunate folks have a better shopping experience next time.
1. “Pearls of wisdom: be cautious when ordering online.”
2. “I ordered a happy sad octopus, but both sides turned out to be sad.”
3. “I ordered a lightning cable online and I didn’t know how long 26 feet was. It arrived today and now I am typing this in my room while I’m plugged into my neighbor’s socket from 3 floors down.”
4. “Another pair of socks that didn’t turn out as hoped. My boyfriend ordered a pair (the right side is him, that’s what we expected). We have no idea who the other guy is.”
5. “My boss ordered chairs for the break room last year. He too didn’t get what he expected.”
