Unless you’re buying from a trusted seller or someone you’ve bought stuff from before then buying online can be risky, and even then can’t be 100% certain what will turn up on your doorstep as these people learn’t the hard way.
Proving that you either get what you pay for or that you should always read the small print these people purchased discounted items online and found out exactly why they were discounted. Some of them were innocent shipping mistakes for better or worse whilst others are just straight up disappointing but they all share one thing in common… the people that purchased them probably won’t be shopping online again any time soon.
