Hilarious snaps reveal online shopping fails

Talk about buyer’s remorse! Hilarious snaps reveal the VERY unsatisfying products online shoppers ended up with – from a terrifying Santa to a huge chunky blanket that only covered the dog

  • People from the US and the UK shared the items they got after ordering online
  • Instead of what ordered and expected, buyers ended with horrifying replicas
  • One woman’s dog was bitterly disappointed when toy she bought was too small
  • Woman who ordered glamourous gown ended up with ill-fitting product instead 

We’ve all heard of buyers’ remorse, but the phrase has taken on a whole new meaning thanks to hilarious photos of online orders that went horribly wrong.  

People from the US and the UK have shared snaps comparing the items they ordered online with the products they actually ended up with, in a hilarious gallery collated by Bored Panda.  

Instead of the glamourous see-through negligee with faux-fur sleeves she was expecting, one woman, believed to be from the US, ended up with an ill-fitting, see through gown with frilly sleeves. 

Pet products seem to be particularly problematic, with one owner ending up with two balls of twine instead of the cactus-shaped scratching post they ordered for their cat, while another ordered a ramp to help their dog climb off the sofa and ended up with a miniature slide.
