8+ People Who Made Some Regrettable Purchases Online

Everyone loves a good shopping adventure. When you get to order everything from the comfort of your own home, it makes it that much easier. Not having to drive to the store, walk around with a million other people, and wait in line are all pros of online shopping.

However, shopping online also leaves things open to some big boo-boos on the customer service front. When we get the package and open it only to see that it's nothing like what we expected, it's a whole other problem to deal with.

This customer who simply wanted to send their friend some nice flowers.

Reddit

Sometimes, those flower delivery services don't always meet your expectations. This looks absolutely nothing like the photo. Instead, it's a sad, dying bouquet that definitely doesn't say "happy birthday" to anyone.

This couple who learned to never buy rings on the Internet.

Reddit

Wanting to buy some inexpensive wedding rings to cut the cost of the entire affair is smart. But next time, check the reviews because these rings won't even fit a baby.

This pillow that is not a pillow.

Reddit

Anyone would think that the pillowcase would just be the dinosaur design, but this one features the kid actually lying on a dinosaur pillow. Who would have thought they'd even make this pillowcase at all?

This White Walker face mask that...well...missed the bar.

Reddit

Wanting to grab a face mask for Halloween that looks exactly like the White Walkers from Game of Thrones is one thing. But, when you receive the actual product and it looks like a toddler's doodle? Yikes!

This dress that is certainly not made well.

Reddit

This dress looks like it may fit a small toddler, but this is not the dress that was advertised. That is a return that should be shipped back as soon as possible!

This T-shirt that is hilariously incorrect.

Reddit

Wanting a funny, witty graphic t-shirt is great. But, when you receive it with another hilarious saying? I would keep this T-shirt just for the laughs. Love it!

These sneakers that are so poorly made, they are trash.

Reddit

If you look at the advertisement, these shoes are pretty cute with their platform heel. But in real life, these shoes are truly not made well. They don't even match up to the base of the shoe!

This makeup chair that is certainly not for humans.

Reddit

Wanting a new makeup chair for your station is a great idea, and this chair is pretty cute. But when it was received, it certainly was not a chair any human could fit into.

That's definitely not the way you spell Sabbath.

Reddit

This is a clear mistake when it comes to spelling and branding. But, to be honest, the outcome isn't all that bad. I'd keep it for irony purposes only.

This face mask that doesn't fit anyone's face.

Reddit

Prioritizing self-care and ordering face masks online seems like a good idea. But this face mask wouldn't fit anyone. Maybe a small child (but, children shouldn't have face masks on, to be honest).

This graphic t-shirt that doesn't work for anyone.

Reddit

Wanting to get a graphic t-shirt with your favorite brand or band is understandable. But this person got a graphic t-shirt with a tiny, tiny graphic which, let's face it, stinks.

And, this order that is clearly not the right purchase.

Reddit

This is the worst purchase by far. Wanting to get some tacks online to hang things on the wall and receiving a bikini? How do these things happen at all?!?

This Champion sweatshirt that was really not Champion.

Reddit

Brand names sometimes can run high when it comes to their prices so this person tried to cut corners and order a cheaper one online. Turns out, it's a total bust — a Hanes sweatshirt with a Champion logo.

Two shoes, for your left feet.

Reddit

When you order sneakers, you may want to check that the source is totally secure. I don't know what to do with two left shoes, but this person definitely won't be starting off on the right foot!

Big jackets are in, right?

This "very rare occasion" happens to be a reoccurring event that many, many people go through. This jacket isn't even an over-sized and cute style. It's just way too big for anyone to wear.

This dress that just missed the mark.

Reddit

Material is super important when it comes to clothing. Always read the fine print about what materials a dress or item of clothing is made with. It may come out looking awful if a cheap material is used.

This outfit is definitely not the same, right?

Twitter

You may want to double check on those reviews and click on "photos." Always see if the outfit in the photos matches the reviews.

Are those slippers?!?

Imagine you spent $750 on sneakers and you got a pair of knock-off sneaker-looking slippers in the mail? I would absolutely lose my mind entirely.

This big knitted blanket that is...just yarn.

Reddit

Wanting to buy a big blanket to keep your entire family warm during those cold winter nights is sweet. But getting a bunch of squished up yarn? Well, I'd return it.

That's one big dustpan.

Reddit

When girls say that size doesn't matter... In this case, it does. I'm not sure who needs a dustpan this large or why anyone would ever invent it, but it was definitely a mistake.

This itty bitty sweatshirt.

Reddit

Sometimes, we have a problem with sizing online. Always read the reviews to see how things fit because you may end up with a sweatshirt that's itty bitty and way too small.

"Ordered some reclining camping chairs online..."

Reddit | Buttery_Queef

I would be so disappointed if I ordered camping chairs for my next adventure outdoors and they ended up looking like this. The worst thing is that you can buy these stools at the dollar store for super cheap.

This crochet bird looks nothing like the photo.

Reddit | aoloya

In fact, it's actually kind of creepy looking. Is it just me, or does this bird also look a little ticked off? I guess that's fitting since the person who ordered it is probably feeling a little ticked off, too.

The worst part is, this person had to wait three months to find out it was the wrong flower.

Reddit | black_rose_

Imagine waiting all that time after planting these seeds. On the bright side, even though this flower is the wrong color, it's still beautiful.

Could these stickers BE any more wrong?

Reddit | yellow_niffler

Sorry, I just had to throw a Chandler reference in there. In all seriousness, these stickers are a major disappointment. Plus, they are teeny-tiny!

"My Aunt lost this round of online shopping roulette."

Reddit

Online shopping: You win some and you lose some. In this case, this woman lost and she lost big time. Those buttons look like they were just printed on, too. So many fails going on here.

You get what you pay for.

Reddit | daguywitdafce

When it comes to online shopping, if something has a price that looks too good to be true, it probably is. Sadly, this gown doesn't live up to the photo at all.

These glasses that are for dolls and dolls only.

Reddit

The tiny glasses trend has been picking up all over social media and with celebrities. But these sunglasses are not fit for any adult. Maybe a baby, or a doll. Definitely a doll.

This guy who wanted a workout tank top and ended up with a bodycon dress.

Reddit

Wanting a nice muscle tank for the gym is no problem...usually. But after receiving his tank top, this guy realized it's more of a clubbing dress to wear out on a Friday night.
