Buying stuff online can be a bit of a gamble. After all, you can’t really see the item before you buy it, right? So you’re putting all your trust in the merchant you buy the stuff from. You’d think reputable sites such as Amazon would be a safe place to place your order without worrying about mistakes.
But buyer beware even when you buy items on Amazon things can still go wrong.
1. Sizing Issues
When you order a flower planter box to go on your kitchen window you definitely don’t expect to receive something like this. Size does matter indeed.
2. Get Planting
This is what can happen when you order a plant pot from Amazon. Make sure you read the description carefully. That’s some tiny pot lol.
3. Protected Packing Fail
So apparently it’s now a thing for Amazon to ship items straight inside the envelope without any protective packing whatsoever. Hmm, I don’t think that’s cool.
4. The Meaning Of Single
Haha. Imagine this lady’s surprise when she received her package of a single 12-pack of pens to only find one single pen inside.
5. Cardboard Box For $28
Again, giant fail on the part of the packaging department at Amazon. This box of cardboard boxes had just one box inside for $28. Whoa!
6. Would You Like Cat Litter With That Milk?
You’d think that when you order milk and cat litter Amazon would have the right mind to ship them separately.
7. Not Even Close
Okay, so I understand anyone can make a mistake delivering a package but this Amazon delivery person wasn’t even close to getting the right address.
8. When Math Is Not Your Strongest Suit
Clearly someone at Amazon must’ve failed math in school because the price for two of these items just doesn’t add up.
9. Just Fell Short
Seems like this Amazon order just fell short of expectations. Not only there’s a wrong picture on this shower curtain it’s not even long enough.
10. When You Have To Get Creative
Apparently this super cute watering can didn’t come with an actual hole to put water in. I guess you have to get crafty.
11. Lipstick In Bed
I know Amazon tends to combine shipping things together. I just didn’t expect to see some lipstick shipped together with bedroom furniture. LOL. That’s a first.
12. When You’re Not A Sports Fan
I’m not really a sports fan but even I know the difference between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. W*F, Amazon?
13. Curious Packaging
Wow, I’ve never seen a stuffed animal or toy packaged like this before. Is Amazon inventing some new packaging method we don’t know about yet?
14. Fashion Fail
You have to hand it to this guy, because even though he didn’t get what he ordered, he still rocked it.
I have to say even though I’ve ordered my share of things on Amazon I’ve never experienced issues like this.
Looks like things are getting much worse lately. Yikes!
