Can you share some online shopping horror stories?

Once I bought a dress online. The picture showed a beautiful, long flowing gown. But when it arrived, it was a short, shabby-looking thing. It was the wrong color and the fabric was so cheap. I was so disappointed.

Sure. I ordered a vintage vinyl record. It was shipped from a very far - away country. When it arrived, the packaging was so carefully done. It was like opening a time capsule. Another unique story is that I bought a custom - made guitar pick. The seller was very communicative during the making process, sending me pictures of the progress. It was really cool to be part of the creation of something I was buying.

Sure. One time I ordered a 'large' shirt online. When it arrived, it was so huge it could fit three of me! It was more like a tent than a shirt. I had a good laugh and ended up giving it to my big - framed friend.

Sure. One story is about a person who saw a designer bag on a very cheap price on an unknown online store. After paying, they never received the item. Another is when someone bought electronics, and the product that arrived was a completely different and much cheaper, broken item.

Well, my friend had a crazy experience. She was shopping online late at night and was half - asleep. She added all kinds of random items to her cart, including a huge inflatable unicorn. When she woke up the next day, she had already completed the purchase and was shocked to see what she had bought.

I once bought a 'big' t - shirt. The description said it was a large size. But when it came, it could barely fit my cat. It was so tiny. I had a good laugh about it. I guess their idea of large was very different from mine.

Once I ordered a 'large' sweater. When it arrived, it was so huge that it could fit three of me! It was more like a tent than a sweater. I took a picture of myself drowning in it and sent it to the seller. They were so amused that they offered me a discount on my next purchase.

One common type is receiving the wrong item. For example, you order a red shirt but get a blue one. Another is getting a damaged product. Packages can get banged around during shipping. And then there's the issue of misrepresentation. Sellers might use photoshopped pictures to make the product look better than it really is.

Well, I bought a pair of shoes. The size was clearly marked as my regular size. However, when they got here, they were at least two sizes smaller. It was impossible to even get my feet in them. And the quality was so poor. The material felt like it would fall apart after just a few wears. I had to go through a lot of hassle to return them.

One common horror story is receiving counterfeit products. For example, you might think you're buying a well - known brand of perfume, but what arrives is a cheap knock - off that smells nothing like the real thing. Another is when the item is damaged during shipping and the seller blames it on the shipping company and refuses to take responsibility.
