Customers Who Definitely Didn’t Get What They Ordered Online

Online shopping has gotten way easier over the past few years, but that doesn’t mean it’s still not a bit of a gamble. You should always be wary of a deal that seems too good to be true, and that’s doubly true when it comes to buying things on the internet. Unfortunately, the following people didn’t heed that advice and ended up with some hilariously bad purchases. Here are the folks that definitely got more than they bargained for while shopping online. 

Santa Maybe

It turns out that there’s not much separating a sultry santa outfit from a hilarious monk one. At least the hood will conceal her shame.

It might not have been what he ordered, but I’ve seen worse in a dress.

This one seems more fraudulent than most, but it’s also one of the funnier ones. I imagine there were some tears on Christmas morning after a kid opened this one up.

This mask might not fit a human, but it would be perfect if you’ve got a small dog with a passion for skincare. 

Patching Things Up

This is one instance where the real product is actually better than the one advertised. Perfect for the disgruntled alien in your life.

Do cats need high fashion? Of course not–but they look so much more fabulous with it.

At least she got all the raw materials to make a blanket. Here’s hoping she knows how to knit! 

Discount Deadpool

This is might not be a great Deadpool costume, but it’s perfect if you want to go as a terrifying luchador for Halloween. 

Teddy Scare

That’s not so much a giant teddy bear as it is a vessel ripe for demonic possession. Never trust a stuffed animal that has human proportions.

Do you really need the beautifully done, professional looking board? Wouldn’t you rather pay an arm and a leg and get something that looks like your kid made it at camp?

What better tribute to the late Bob Ross than a Chia pet that makes him look like a zombie emerging from the grave to feast on the living?

Okay sure, these are obviously just two different shoes glued together. But look on the bright side–you paid for one pair and got two!

Let’s give them the benefit of the doubt–maybe this isn’t false advertising. That girl could be the size of Tinker Bell.

Who wants a color-changing mug when you can have a mug that features a color-changing mug? It’s almost as good as the real thing!

A Doggone Shame

I’m sure her dog would be disappointed in her if they were capable of that. Thankfully pets don’t judge our terrible online purchases. 

Unmasked

On the one hand, he clearly didn’t get what he ordered. But on the other hand, that’s a good thing, because those masks with faces on them look absolutely creepy. 

Never Trust Ebay

These Kanye West-designed shoes look exactly like something he would come up with. That being said, so do the counterfeit ones that this poor soul dropped $750 on.

Maybe she’s got a Barbie that needs to lose weight? It’s either that or someone’s been duped by the internet yet again.

That dress looks like it would fall completely apart if you wore it even once. But something tells me it went right in the trash after this photo was taken.

Disco is dead, and these pants killed it. Probably with a little help from that shirt he’s wearing, too.
