“What I Ordered VS. What I Got”: 50 Times Careless Online Shopping Backfired In The Most Hilarious Ways (New Pics)
Imagine this: you order a product on the internet and wait days—or even weeks—for it to arrive. When the parcel finally shows up, the thing inside barely resembles what you ordered. Then again, maybe you don't have to imagine this. Maybe you know the pain of dealing with a refund system that seems designed to test your will to live.
To illustrate just how funny and frustrating online shopping can be, we've collected a set of pictures showing people's most disappointing experiences with it. From tiny pools to terrible knock-offs, these examples prove you must always read the reviews before checking out.

Ordered A $1000 Graphics Card From Amazon, Received 4 Cans Of Beef Ravioli
It showed up in the sealed Amazon box, and inside that, the graphics card box still had intact security stickers and shrinkwrap. Taking it up with support, but also screaming internally for fear that they'll think I'm the one scamming and won't refund or replace.
They heat gun the security sticker to reactivate the adhesive and remove the sticker. It's very easy to get a shrink wrap machine.
i bet you won't be the only one complaining about this. Don't buy anything with less than 1,000 reviews on amazon.
Here it's been from 850 usd (dec 2024) to 1063 usd (now, oct 2025) (not my dv). but stuff here are more expensive I guess.

My wife ordered a very nice Irish Sweater from a site called ArtsWardrobe.com.
So it looked like a really awesome knit (actually a fairly complicated pattern) in the image.
She ordered it and got a printed sweatshirt with poorly-sewn hems on a low quality polyester fabric.
Description says “knitted” not printed.
TLDR: don’t order from ArtsWardrobe.com
There are countless of these scam clothing sites. Look up information and reviews about the company before buying. fafo, I'm sorry, but that's how it goes.
Found out a subreddit just about censing fake autopart sites. Basically there’s a random names generator which actually build up the site with working contacts to scam people looking for auto parts they’ll never receive. It works so well they need fresh names.
Load More Replies...There are so many scam sites that advertise on Facebook, there’s been a few things I have seen and thought ‘ that looks good’ , googled the company , looked on Trustpilot and the reviews are almost always really really bad
Historical clothing companies just closing due to recession with ai generated photos and same pattern stories and texts ? As long the ad its paid, apparently you can post scam ads over fb.
Load More Replies...Those particular sweater ads are the worst - the photos are so overproduced and photoshopped there’s no way they could be real
Some of the scam sites have real pictures - that they steal from an actual makers of knitted sweaters and do the same print bs. How do I know? A Finnish designer discovered her sweater pics had been stolen by temu and yle made a news story on it a couple of months back
Load More Replies...My husband ordered a comforter for our bed with this beautiful quilted sunset scene on it. When it came, it was just a print same as your sweater. I’m very poorly sewn together as well.
Me too - terrified to sneeze in case my arm falls off. (Sorry, I enjoyed your typo though and couldn't resist). 😉
Load More Replies...It is. Not because I think so, but I've seen this "photo" in a video or two, explaining how to recognize AI-generated pics.
Load More Replies...I found that there are a lot of these Around now a days, mostly ai generated. If you look closely at the photos you can tell and if your not sure, check for customer images that should give you a piece of mind
Always have to check out website reviews for stuff like this. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is!!
What I Ordered vs. What I Got
At least I have a cool welcome mat now.
In this case you needed to read the dimensions of what you were ordering. If the price was too good to be true this is what happens.
Or the seller needs to stop posting fake photos - unless that's dolls house furniture, it i is clearly not that size, is it.

Throwback To The Time I Thought I Was Buying A Surprisingly Cheap Weightlifting Bench, Only To Receive This In The Post

So did some guy just place an Amazon order with my name and address and pocket a few bucks?
You're probably right, but it's possible the eBay seller is just recycling the Amazon box. I've done that when shipping packages.
Load More Replies...It's actually against the eBay rules and you can, and should, report the seller for drop shipping.

Check Out My Cool New Lap Desk From Temu
If people actually read the dimensions and reviews properly.
Load More Replies...I buy from Temu and have gotten some decent stuff. You have to be hyper aware and read the descriptions very carefully and remember that "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". That said, I have been able to find some items that are exactly the same as on Amazon for a fraction of the price. I would NEVER buy clothing on Temu because from everything I have heard it is that gross, slick polyester that does not breath.
Load More Replies...that's the point.. They thought they were buying the lap-desk pictured in the image. All they got was the picture.

Not What I Expected
Ordered this from Walmart's website. What I ordered versus what I got. Yes, I tried “fluffing it” and tried to make it look comparable to what it’s supposed to look like. The bow isn’t even the same. There’s so much glue all over it. It’s a lost cause.
I looked at this on Walmart’s site but I was lucky. 2 people bought and then reviewed with pictures what they received. Saved me time and money.
Farmgirl Flowers “Now And Gem” Bouquet. Ordered Flowers To Make My Bridal Bouquet, Was Very Excited. Absolutely Shameful
For a bridal bouquet? C’mon now. Online ordering instead of visiting a florist? Yep, you’ll get less flowers for the same money but they’ll look proper. Skimp on the favours or get cheaper shoes but if you need a bouquet then that’s where you should invest, they are a focal point.
Agree. A wedding bouquet is not just a bunch of flowers. A good florist can recommend which flowers to use because of wilting or a strong scent.

This Chair
Either the girl is tiny, I'm huge, or the chair is a lie.
Tbf a lot of amazon products get the quick photoshop treatment, like a ton. And they're cheap but if you see 100+ good reviews they're usually passable.
Load More Replies...If that chair is real, it would pretty much just be a rotating couch.
the enormous chair in the advert should have been warning enough for anyone.
Ordered LEGO At Amazon, Got Pasta Instead
I can't quite believe this one mainly due to the way the Lego box has been 'opened'
Actually the scammer was quite smart. Lego pieces are packed in plastic bags in the box. It would even sound right when you shook it!
Load More Replies...Amazon return scam. Scammer purchases item from Amazon. Carefully opens and removes item from box and puts something else in box that is the approximate weight. Returns box with wrong item inside to Amazon and gets a refund. Amazon processes the return and unless there is something very obviously wrong with the item will restock it on the shelves. You go to purchase from Amazon. When your item arrives its that returned box and you get a bag of pasta instead of Jurrasic World. Generally speaking, once the item is in Amazon's hands it is mostly impossible for them to connect the bad return to the scammer and they get away with it. I've been a seller on Amazon for 14 years and have had to deal with a fair amount of return fraud.
It's a shame that they don't scan (as in an airport scanner) things which are returned, and record the sender. That would put a quick end to this.
Load More Replies...All the pieces are the same color and the same spiral shape, could not build anything with them!!!
Yeah, either than was a scam return or it got stolen somewhere along the delivery route.
When I worked din retail, Lego was the product most shoplifted. I would *never* buy it online or secondhand; likely stolen. Or an empty box.
I’ve never had an issue, but I guess that’s just anecdotal evidence.

Contacted Walmart, and they said they just can't send a seat. We gotta mail it back. Then they'll send the replacement.
You order a second one, only pull the seat out, tape it up and send it back
Which… is probably how this happened in the first place. I wonder how many iterations of this have occurred so far 😂
Load More Replies...Yeah, unfortunately, that's how they get you. It's all fun and games when you order things, but you have to be so careful to check the return policy. If they want you to mail it back at your own expense, they suck. Of course, we already knew that but here we are. (Btw, definitely not being holier than thou here. I shop there as well, money being what it is.)

Finally Decided To Order A Skims Bra And This Was What I Got When I Opened The Package
I’m so upset too because this size and color are now sold out. Customer support waived return fees but that doesn’t help me get the bra I wanted (without someone else’s eyelashes attached!) 😩.
Funny and a little gross, but just take it off and wash it, lol.
It's not like it's a severed finger or used tissue. It is strange that some chick is probably underpaid for boxing up bras for a living, yet she spends cash on fake eyelashes.
I assumed it was tried on by a customer and returned as it didn't fit (a common problem with bra buying in my personal experience as sizes vary enormously, as does the cut). It looks very... er, 'chunky' for a bra.

It was on sale and the last in my size. It’s comfortable and fits great, perfect for walking the half-pictured dog… Guess I will meet lots of new people in the mall today once I go around asking if anyone is able to remove it for me.
strong magnet. like the ones in a good sized speaker or a guitar amp. and no, I'm not dodgy, I learned about it when I worked in retail, and they had us watch a video about shoplifting that was clearly meant to teach what to look out for, but instead taught me plenty of handy shoplifting tips in case I ever turn to a life of crime.
Is it and ink one? Put it in the freezer for a few hours then break the tag off.
Op; " I got it removed by a store close to me, since the next Adidas is about an hour away. Surprisingly it wasn't a huge deal, seemingly stuff like that happens more often."

Do Not Buy From Eleven Forest. Not Just Failed, But Clearly A Scam
It's almost hilariously obvious that this website is a scam. Dresses very much like these for about $50 AUD. Heavily beaded and embroidered shirts for $35. AWOOGAH! AWOOGAH! Alarm bells abungo, and that's even before you realise that the photos are really obviously AI. About 30 seconds of googling will bring up a whole bunch of reviews that say much the same. I'm honestly surprised that people keep falling for it.
Exactly! You have to check out these websites for reviews. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Load More Replies...It's not that different to be fair - dresses will always look different on models and on a person as opposed to just on a hanger.
There is absolutely no shaping in either of those dresses, no volume of fabric in the skirt and no way they'd fit around the bodice.
Load More Replies...The original dresses are real- vendor has used actual photos to falsely represent their faux fashion rip off. I would imagine the originals would cost several hundred $AUD.
Aliexpress, Alihome Tools Scam. Even If You Contact Aliexpress Customer Services First, They Say That They Are Ok, And That You Can Go Ahead And Buy Them
Avoid - generators and batteries, they have been promoting them as being offers at a big discount, introductory offers, discounted store offers, etc, and then send out photographs of them? Even if you contact AliExpress Customer Services first - they say that they are ok, and that you can go ahead and buy them??
When I have bought items from Aliexpress, any problems I have received a full refund.
Use your credit card. Chargeback. Item not as described. They'll pull the money from AliExpress and they can go after the fraudulent seller. I'm not a fan of the current administration but I 100% appreciate everything they are doing to build a tariff wall between the U.S. and China. There are some good business people in China and there are a hell of a lot of scammers and they give zero f***s about hurting anyone to make a Yuan.
The tariffs will not help with scammers. They will just scam with tariffs added.

Went online immediately and tried to exchange, but then they said it's no longer available and are not sure when/if it will be.

I've been ripped off ordering flowers online too. I ordered some last week for my best friend, and called a florist local to her. The arrangement is still beautiful & it made my friend happy.
Always order from a local florist. They have a reputation to uphold and you are supporting a local small business.

I wouldn’t be surprised with like a Temu or Big Lots blanket, but I am surprised with a kind of expensive blanket from a brand like Tommy Bahama. So imho don’t buy Tommy Bahama, there stuff is a joke and the customer service is a joke.
"New" Mouse, Old Packaging
So, I decided to treat myself to a new gaming mouse. Ordered this Corsair M65 RGB Ultra Wireless from Amazon, expecting a brand-new experience. What I got instead? A box that's seen better days, with clear signs of being opened and likely used. Amazon, come on! I paid for a new product, not someone else's leftovers. And don't even get me started on the potential hygiene issues... If you want to sell open-box items, fine. But at least be upfront about it and offer a discount. This bait-and-switch tactic is just disrespectful to customers. Anyone else had similar experiences with Amazon?
Check product pages very carefully for "as new" and similar ambiguous condition statements. Also, I've ordered quite a few things from Amazon and things were missing because it was a previous return and whoever checks it had no idea what sould be in the box before returning to stock.
Ordered: Stone Bath Mat, Got: Giant Mouse Pad
Ordered the stone bath mat shown in the first photo, priced around $70–$80. It took about six weeks to arrive, and when it finally did, it was a “mat” made of mouse pad material with a printed stone design on top.
just so everyone knows thats not how diatomaceous earth works. its a very very very very soft type of sedimentary rock made of the fossilized remains of ancient hard shelled algae and micro organisms. you couldnt make a bath mat that was "100% diatomaceous earth" as the only way to get 100% Diatomaceous earth is by buying the raw powder. even when its used in filters its bonded with some sort of coagulant or trapped in some sort of fine screen. this would be like trying to buy a rug made from "100% baby powder"
I actually wondered about at. I buy diet tenacious earth in little 1 pound packages to scatter around my flowerbeds to keep the snails away and it is just like baby powder.

Jesus Wept. Bought This From An Instagram Seller. Lesson Learned
Ordered Some Pencil Lead Refills
180 pieces divided into 6 plastic cases. All 180 pieces fit into a single case.
each case says "30" meaning they got the amount they ordered. I'm not in love with the extra plastic needed for so many cases, but the order was correct
I think it's to prevent breakage... More an issue of wasteful packaging.
Nah. It's so they can sell the same item in 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 count without needing to change the main packing process, which is probably the more expensive part. A much simpler machine can simply wrap and label in whatever total count they want to sell.
Load More Replies...ALL these reinforce the fact that you must physically shop for things if you wish for success.
I would never order from Shein or Temu. Any on line ordering I do must also have a brick and mortar store. As far as Amazon goes, I refuse to buy anything without a minimum of 50 actual human reviews including pictures of the product.
I have bought a ton of wonderful stuff from Temu. People need to read the material, size and reviews first. Temu is great with returns. Many times you can keep it and get the refund within 2 minutes.

sometimes companies will send out products to random people and then use it to write 5 star reviews on themselves. its a common scam and most people accept it because free stuff.
Load More Replies...Never order from Temu or similar websites. Always check the 1 and 2 star reviews - those give a better picture of whether or not the item will be useful as opposed to landfill. Granted, some of the 1 + 2 star reviewers are whiny little b!tches but most tell what their problems were + some have pix of the actual item.
Look at the reviews...Husband always starts with the worst ones first. As for flowers -- use the internet to find a local florist close to your recipient, and order from there. It works a lot better. (some Sam's Clubs will also deliver.)
i gotta be honest, i've had nothing but good results from temu. i ordered a 5-pack of different-color T-shirts and a 3-pack of shorts because I started an exercise class. the quality of the shirts is amazingly good, and the pack was only $12. and the shorts also are great quality. i know it's a c**p shoot every time with temu, but i've been lucky. lol ... i think the key with clothes is not to order those elaborate dresses that are obviously AI. i've ordered regular clothes from them 3 times and have never had a problem. be careful with shoes, tho. the sizing is iffy at best and the quality can be s**t. i've ordered 2 pairs of shoes from them, one pair was great, the other was awful. lol
ALL these reinforce the fact that you must physically shop for things if you wish for success.
I would never order from Shein or Temu. Any on line ordering I do must also have a brick and mortar store. As far as Amazon goes, I refuse to buy anything without a minimum of 50 actual human reviews including pictures of the product.
I have bought a ton of wonderful stuff from Temu. People need to read the material, size and reviews first. Temu is great with returns. Many times you can keep it and get the refund within 2 minutes.

I said no, figure out who it should go to and I'll contact them or give them my number, but they refused. So now I got two throwpillows I guess
sometimes companies will send out products to random people and then use it to write 5 star reviews on themselves. its a common scam and most people accept it because free stuff.
