Ah, the internet, you big beautiful, amazing, interesting, frustrating, and downright bizarre world, you. It's no secret that the web is a magical place, one where we can decide we want something, and two seconds later, we're looking at 100 different varieties of that thing that we wanted. But, just like advertising in the real world, online marketing can be a bit deceiving at times; and as a result, what gets delivered to us may not look anything like what we were looking at on the computer. That's got to be pretty upsetting! Take a look at these unfortunate people, whose hopes were dashed after the package that showed up to their house looked nothing like what they saw online. And you better believe they asked for their money back!
It Will Leave A Lasting Impression
The unlucky woman on the right spent $200 on a bridesmaid's dress for her sister's wedding that was inspired by a similar-looking frock worn by Nadia Bartel.
The dress that arrived left her literally crying. That one experience changed her mind regarding online shopping. By the way, did the scammers use coffee filters? Honestly, to us, it looks like a piece of plastic with coffee filters.
Haircuts Like These Should Be Declared Illegal Now
After seeing this disaster, we are officially going to run a campaign to ban hair styles like these altogether. Calling this haircut terrible would be an understatement.
Did this unlucky person sue the barber? Their only hope is that the hair will grow back as quickly as possible. The bad news is that this person might never trust a hairdresser anymore.
We Thought That Bunnies Were Supposed To Be Cute
This nightmare-inducing photo is not a screenshot from some B-grade horror movie; it is as real as it gets. As if clowns weren't scary enough, now we have started fearing bunnies as well.
Instead of buying this crappy face mask, she might as well have just burnt the money. Now that she has the facemask, at least she can use it on Halloween to scare the heck out of people!
They Ended Up With Something That Looks Like Hairy Matchsticks
Please cut them now and burn them so the world cannot see this disaster. COVID-19 was bad enough, and we don't need another disaster.
Did she tell the hairdresser that she was cosplaying (that is a big if) for Nezuko character from Demon Slayer? If yes, then we'd say it was a great job.
A "Natural-Looking" Color
We cannot even imagine how this happened. They say not to shower afterward getting a spray-tan... well, this time we think this person should ignore that advice and shower, swim, and jump into her neighborhood pond and stay there for at least two weeks.
Some may think she wanted to impress her friends by telling them she went to The Bahamas. Do you think they were that impressed after seeing this? We don't.
Even The Puppy Doesn't Like The New Hairstyle
Don't laugh! This is how you look every Monday morning. This is how most of us are without coffee in the morning except for George Clooney because he remains handsome and hot 24/7.
The doggo on the right looks a lot like the President of Canines, right? Hey, please say that you agree with us.
Looks More Like Voldemort
Just when you thought that internet shopping could provide some relief, the internet gods were like, "Hold my beer."
Did the same brand that made the thumper mask (the bunny one) create this one too? At least the slogan "Cruel is cool" is good.
When "My Bad" Just Doesn't Quite Cover It
This is what happens when you go to a sketchy piercing shop. The piercer must've been like, "It's all good. The difference is probably too small to notice."
She said she went to a piercer; we hope she doesn’t mean the piercer was her best friend with a safety pin. Wait for the holes to heal up and then go somewhere else.
A Sweet Disaster
When a cake is placed in front of you at a birthday party, don't trust anyone, not even yourself! And especially avoid eating it if it looks like the cake on the right.
This person thought that ordering a cake online would make them happy. But they still haven't learned that online purchases can make you feel sad and unsatisfied. Honestly, the left one isn't exactly great either.
They Won’t BEE Ordering Again From You!
Imagine ordering a gender-reveal cake and it has the color of the gender on the outside. What would be your reaction?
Hey, at least it is thousands of times better than that gender-reveal celebration that caused the California wildfire in 2020.
A Cool Dog With Hardcore Mohawk
The Mohawk hairstyle is not as common these days as it once was, but it seems like the dog groomer wanted to make it a trend (at least in doggos). One would say that it is impossible to make such a beautiful doggie look ugly, and yet here we are.
The doggo's expression in the second photo says it all. If it was a cat, the groomer and owner would have already been dead by now.
That's One Ugly-Looking Apron
The woman on the right looks like she is wearing a silk pillowcase. It seems like she wanted to order the dress and accidentally placed an order for a tablecloth.
How could they scam her like this? It isn't even the same color! What you can learn from her experience is to never buy that cheap copy.
At Least The Zipper is Very Strong
This woman thought she's the same size as the model and only now is she slowly realizing that this might not be the case after all. Too bad she had to spend money to find that out.
She has to get clothes her size. We’re not being mean here, it just would've been less of a hassle if she'd ordered clothing suitable to her own unique measurements.
"Its Okay, I Found A Cheaper Hairdresser"
Did the "hairdresser" burn her hair off? What is happening at the hairline? It looks like a child attacked her with an electric trimmer while she was sleeping.
This woman made the mistake of going to an inexperienced hairdresser, and her hair still falls out by the chunks even after 8 months. In addition, she has a big bald spot in front. In other words, the hairdresser "died" her hair yellow.
When You Get A 99% Discount On A $1 Product
We can’t even fathom how anyone thought that these two were remotely similar. You may be wondering how do people get away with this? Darling, this is what scammers do.
Let's ignore the scam for a second as we try to work out what the heck it was in the first place.
Ariel Has Never Looked Scarier
Thank you so much for ruining our childhoods. This is more terrifying than seeing people put pineapple on pizza.
It kind of looks as if bits of Nemo were plastered onto Ariel's face. One lesson you must have learned by now is to never buy these strange Disney face masks.
Eh, That's Close Enough
Although this lady claims the salon did a pretty bad job here, many people seem a bit skeptical. Either she is making it up, or she went to a cheap, cheap salon
It's strange though that she asked for acrylic tips and didn't realize they hadn't been applied until she got home.
Kiss The Cake, Maybe It'll Change
So this person wanted a cake that said "Forg?" We're confused. The original one is not nice either.
Honestly though, it's kind of strange to us that this person wanted the image on the left and was bummed about getting the one on the right. If it were us, we would've considered this a steal!
Return It Or Burn It...Choose Wisely
Was the flying rug included with this purchase? It is an Aladdin movie reference. Even though it's going to make all her friends think of Disney, we do have to admit that they look super comfortable.
By the way, these pants are perfect for smuggling outside candy into movie theaters!
Looks Like Bacon Is Back In Style!
We love how they added the shadow from the picture to the color of the nails. Some of you may say that they both look horrible. Honestly, we'd be big fans of these if we were hungrier for breakfast.
The lady who got these nails done stayed there for over three hours. So yeah, that's what she got after spending a huge chunk of her day there.
When Dog Grooming Sessions Gives You An Entirely New Doggo
Are you tired of your dog breaking things in the house? Have you sometimes thought about getting a new dog? Do you think there could be a possibility of exchanging dogs? If your answer is yes, there is a simple solution for you.
Take your dog to this groomer and you may come back home with a new, completely different dog.
Was The Model Nine Feet Tall?
Either the model is super, super tall or the girl on the right is barely hitting 3 feet. Some people may say, "Better too long than too short."
In all honesty, she could be thankful because there is almost enough extra fabric to build another pair of pants! See? Just gotta see the glass as half full.
A Trendy Picnic Tablecloth Dress
As new trends keep on coming up, we think wearing picnic tablecloth trends will catch on soon. Unfortunately, it probably looks like an order mix-up.
Let's forget the dress for a second. What the hell happened to her hands? Maybe she was moving them so fast in all the excitement of getting a new tablecloth.
Someone Actually Paid Money For This
Yes, she paid the hair lady for these "amazing" curls. Guess she will be doing her own hair from here on out.
Do you know the easiest way to get that sort of hair? Well, go to sleep and wake up and you’ll have messy hair for free.
Use It As a Doormat
We think that she just chose the wrong size. This is why you should always check, double-check, and even triple check the actual sizes.
If she has a dog or cat in the house, then it is the perfect size. But we all know that they are not going to sleep on it. They’d prefer dirty or clean laundry over it.
Maybe Elmo Has Seen Some Weird Stuff Lately
Hopefully, people will enjoy smashing this cake into the wall or in the dumpster. Did this person pay for the cake on the left or the cake on the right?
Given that it is a smash cake odds are the kid isn't going to care how it looks. They're just going to dig in and enjoy that crazy sugar rush!
Can We Get A Refund On Her Behalf?
Is it just us does the hair look burnt? The bleach is overdeveloped and uneven. We feel bad for the poor girl.
This is the moment when you leave the salon without paying. If only the world was that simple...
How Angry Would You Be If This Was You?
This woman wrote, “I cried for 6 days. She literally cut it in that scrunchie. My hair was 26 inches long. 17 inches were GONE.”
How useless of a hairdresser would you have to be to just cut someone's hair off at the scrunchie?? We can't imagine there would be many instances when a hair stylist opens them up to a lawsuit but this is definitely one of them.
Real Sunflowers Are So Overrated
This woman felt heartbroken after noticing they didn’t use real sunflowers.
In all honesty, it is not as bad as some we have seen so far. Still, it is kind of a bummer the product doesn't look like the photo at all.
It's Time To Switch Stylists
Well, to be honest, it isn't easy to get the same result if you have a totally different hair type. But then again, the hairdresser should have informed the customer.
Even if she has curled hair, the hairdresser should have been able to get the right color.
This Person Spent $2,000 On eBay Only To Get This
For those of you who don't know, 'Yeezy 750 Boost' was a highly sought-after pair of shoes created by Kanye West. So, the fans were so desperate to buy them that they were willing to pay extra money.
As expected, someone got scammed and ripped off real bad. Looks like someone out there is pretty creative with cardboard.
Looks Like A Denim Thong
We understand that the style of shorts on the left looks really good and are super versatile. Sadly, someone got scammed real bad.
Apparently the scammer is not good at cutting stuff. They are only good at scamming people.
Just Eat It
This unfortunate shoe disaster can make anyone think twice before buying online again. We can understand that someone wanted to scam others and earn more money, but it's confusing as to why they would put bread in the box.
It kind of looks like they really wanted to humiliate the customer. As if scamming wasn't enough, they thought it would be funny to send bread. At least we can say that the scammers are on a roll.
Always Question Online Purchases
In all honesty, we think this is both disgusting and amusing. After all, someone was so upset to sell their phone that they had to give it a long kiss goodbye.
Jokes aside, no one should do this as it is gross. One can hope that they asked for a refund from eBay or some kind of compensation.
You Disappointed Meow Meow
Some cats love their toys or anything that can be used to scratch their paws. For them, their slave humans can buy stuff all the time.
But this is unfortunate because the human was scammed and the cat can't even play with it. The cat is like, "Hooman, what am I supposed to do with all this?"
PlayStation For A Giant
Scammers are aware that most people don't read the description very closely. They even hope to get away with small details hidden somewhere.
This person will agree with us because he paid way more for something that is pretty much useless. It's time they track the scammer down and punch them in the face.
Yay, Now You're A Human Seal
Nowadays, many clothing brands have started to offer a range of sizes to suit different people. We laughed out loud after seeing what happened with the person who got a size that isn't 32" in length.
If they really want to wear the jeans, they could just cut off some of the material and it is good to wear. The problem with returning is that the shipping cost will be more expensive than the purchase.
The Dress Is The Same...In Another World
Always take a cautious approach when buying online. Or else, you could get scammed like this unlucky girl.
She thought it was a perfect dress for a dinner party and it turned out to be a complete fail. Experiences like this one can make people never do online shopping again. Although this is not the worst one we have seen so far, the disappointment on her face makes us feel sorry for her.
So Close, But So Far Away
Everyone admires a good form-fitting coat, but the one on the right makes you wanna hate them. Maybe this person didn't check size guides before the purchase.
We can understand that it is impossible to get something exactly like the product picture shows, but it is always important to do some research before purchasing a product. Needless to say, a lesson was learned that day.
Works Fine
This is another example of why you should be careful buying online. However, we have to admit that this person's humorous side won our hearts. Instead of crying about it, they found it amusing. Life gave them lemons and they wore them with no shame.
This one does show that if you love to do online shopping, there are chances someone might scam you at one point or another. So, be mentally prepared like this person.
