Online shopping can oftentimes be a hit or miss. After all, you can’t really see or touch the item you’re buying so you’re relying solely on pictures of other people’s reviews. But even that can sometimes be problematic. Because you never know if a review is genuine or not.
These people found out the hard way that online shopping is a gamble.

Online retailers must we really swamped in the summer because this doesn’t look like a unicorn floatie. Not even remotely close.

“Note to self…check the dimensions of EVERYTHING before ordering on Amazon.” That’s some good advice. I dunno how that happens. The cat’s face is priceless.

Turns out you can’t even order an original piece of art online based on the picture they show you because what shows up doesn’t always measure up.

I bet when this lady ordered this extremely chunky knitted blanket she wasn’t expecting a baby version. That picture is so deceiving. Ugh.

If you ordered flowers online, you should ask the recipient to take a picture of what they received. You might be surprised. This happens all the time.

Oh, what an adorable little keychain. Wait a minute, what she received looks more like a voodoo doll. LOL. I would get rid of that fast.

Trying to save money by purchasing back-to-school supplies online? Just make sure they come in the proper size first.

I’m sorry, but these flowers just look pathetic. It’s almost like they know and are hanging their heads in disappointment.

When you ask for an extra topping on your pizza, you expect it to actually be on the pizza — not included as a side garnish.
24. This “Textbook”
I sincerely hope this poor soul didn’t shell out $300 for two pieces of cardboard glued together.

If you think you’ve scored an awesome deal, be sure to check out the size. Sometimes, the price is so great because it’s actually a kid’s item. Noooooooo….
27. Why Can’t Companies Agree On Sizes?
The worst thing about shopping online is how every store has their own take on sizes. A size 10 at one store is more like a size 6 at another. Why does this always happen?!
28. Medical-Grade Tweezers
Nothing will surprise you quite like opening up your package to discover that those tweezers you bought are actually gigantic.
29. Life-Size Chair
And then there are times when you think you order a life-size item like this chair that actually ends up being its mini version instead.
30. Seeing Double
When you order wrapping paper online and they send you a massive poster of your face. Ha, ha, ha! That’s actually pretty hilarious. Just keep it.
This is exactly why I’m so paranoid about buying stuff online.
And I can’t relax until I actually receive all my items safe and sound. LOL! Am I too much?
