Online shopping is super convenient, a whole world of products and services to choose from that will get delivered to your doorstep at the click of a button. However, there is, of course, a price to pay for all this convenience and cheap stuff.
Firstly, you don't get to physically touch, smell, and judge the actual dimensions of a product like you would in a shop. This can lead to all kinds of misunderstandings and even epic fails, mainly if you are dealing with some unscrupulous companies from less regulated countries.
Then there is the waiting. Your ordered goodies could get stuck in customs, and the wrong product could've been sent by mistake, it also might get broken in transit. It could end up being an awfully long time between you clicking 'buy' on the online shopping site and actually receiving a satisfactory product in your hand! However, these are the risks we take for a bargain, and not having to drag around town looking for something in a shop. We here at Bored Panda had compiled a list of times when online shopping fails went hilariously wrong, as a kind of cautionary tale. Do your research on counterfeit goods before you click that button! Scroll down below to check the expectations vs reality photos out for yourself, as well as some previous posts here, here and here, and share your own shopping fails experiences in the comments!

This Patch I Ordered Off Amazon...
Of course on rare occasions it can go the other way, and you can receive something even better than what you expected. I know which badge I'd prefer in this case! Sometimes the world makes us all want to pack up and leave
This made me bust out laughing. I want to leave too! The one received was so much better than the one they wanted. Why 'believe' when you can just 'leave' instead?! Solves all issues!
The patch you wear when the aliens come and offer to rescue a chosen few from the planet's madness.
Once they saw how bad our world was, I guess they decided to change that patch. Don't blame them, we are going to hell in a hand basket.
My Grandpa's Neighbor Ordered An Inflatable Santa Online... They Sent Him The Wrong Size
This guy then floated it up and put it in front of his house in Brooklyn. It surely makes for an impressive Christmas decoration!
The neighbor got exactly what he wanted. He just knew it was over-the-top so he's trying to play it off saying they sent the wrong thing.
This one is BS. This is a house in Brooklyn, NY. The guy puts the santa up every year. I've seen it as it is in my neighborhood.
Spoiler alert! Seriously, I bet the neighborhood kids love it.
Load More Replies...That's pretty handy! Just one Christmas decoration and you're done!
Royal Quality
This is amazing on so many levels; from the spelling mistake to the artists impression of the Royal couple. Although some might say, it's actually pretty accurate! Either way, this is definitely a collector's item.
Obviously the woman who repaired the painting was one and the same as the one who repainted Ecce Homo. a-ecco-hom...0bb25d.jpg
I thought he same! It must be the same painter, or they went to the same school! By the way, how do you add an image to your comment?
Load More Replies...I agree with you. Whoever produced it can also sleep well knowing that they have no problems with infringement on any copy (cabana) rights.
Load More Replies...Hi, may I order 2whole boxes of that and replace them with my plates? Thanks!
HAHAHAHA! This is golden!!!!! It is the exact same quality as that "Brazillian Pizza"! ;-)
How dare you?! 😂 Brazilian pizza is the best pizza!!! I love it! 😆

My Wife Ordered A Backpack From Amazon To Use As A Carry On. Cat For Scale
This cat looks quite happy with the situation, it's now the proud owner of a brand new catpack. Now it looks ready to set off on an exciting adventure of self-discovery. Where first? Purr-is? Meow York?
Black cats rule but that one is going to murder you while you sleep, or just put a mouse in your mouth while you sleep! Good luck!
Yeah, this is a customer fail, the pack is called the "Half Pint" and anyplace you look at the description is has this "Please note: this is not a full sized backpack".
Load More Replies...It all depends on what kind of things you want to carry.
Load More Replies...Might Be Wrong Though
Mixups do happen! Photo evidence works a treat this time, as Dylan Evans discovered hilariously. Gotta say, it does rather suit him though
Maybe he didn't get the order he wanted, but maybe he got the order he needed, because that dress looks damn good on him, and looks like it fits him pretty well.
I know everyone else is going crazy over this dress, but honestly I'm not a big fan of it. I mean it's OK, but not THAT great.
The dress looks cheap and not really attractive. I'd say it's nice and funny just because this guy is wearing it :D
Load More Replies...She can wear the pants and glasses he ordered.
Load More Replies...Love how he had to put it on and show them it was the wrong order. However, he does look good in it.
Dont they ask for photographic evidence of a wrong order? He nailed it.
Load More Replies...Photo Evidence Of Earrings That Never Arrived
How do you provide photo evidence of something that's not there? This Twitter user ordered some earrings on the popular Chinese online retailer AliExpress, and they just didn't show up. It's probably happened to you too at one point, hasn't it? Usually the company will find the problem and make sure the product gets to you ASAP, but not this time. They wanted to be sure they weren't being tricked. "Show us that you don't have the earrings," they demanded. WTF?? This is Iris' cheeky attempt to comply.
I ordered and expensive set of Japanese chisels through Amazon. They were packed in a bubble envelope. I received a torn envelope, an invoice and nothing else. To get a refund I had to return the "order" so I put the empty envelope in another envelope and sent it back. I did get the refund though. :)
IS it just me that ordered something and got it really quickly? I always order small things like earphones and charging cables and for my cat toys and i have always got them. IS it just me who always gets it?
I actually ordered a new cell phone Wednesday, it was shipped and received, Thursday. This NEVER happened before, but hey, it does happen, loll
Load More Replies...LOL - they were right. Invisible earrings still count, don't they?
I thought that too. Her camera must be on beauty mode?
Load More Replies...Here my auntie ordered us cat litter scoops, the scoop is attached to a wee bin, you get bags with it to put in the wee bin, and hey presto saves you a lot of faffing about when cleaning the litter tray. First time she used it, as soon as a clump of litter hit the bin part, it fell off! She complained about it. They asked if she could take a pic of it not working properly! We're still trying to figure it out! I mean the pics would literally just be a before and after! How the funk does that make sense??

My Friend Bought This Costume Online And I’ve Been Laughing All Day
Deadpool, is that you? This costume is sure to be a hit at any Halloween party, although maybe not for all the right reasons...This looks more like the dimwitted lovechild of deadpool and spiderman
Ordered A Russian Patch For My New Jacket... Got A Pride Flag
Some masterful trolling going on here, considering Russia's 'reputation' on LBGT rights. Somebody wanted to make a statement, and they succeeded!
I'm calling shenanigans, the package is open. I think the poster removed the Russian patch and replaced it with the rainbow. Since the contents are visible there would be no reason to open it if you actually received the wrong patch.
Nice prank on unsuspecting shoppers, keeping in mind the Kremlin's view of all who deviates from heterosexuality in any way. Good one.
Never Buy A Cat Tree From Amazon
Although the structural integrity of the cat tree might be lacking, kitty seems to be enjoying it nonetheless!
The cat is thinking "it's so hard to find qualified servants these days".
I wish I could upvote this comment more than just one time.

The way the Cat looks at us i would say this is The Tower of Pissoff
Love My New Yeezys
Kanye West's laughably overpriced and deeply ugly 'fashion' pieces are funny enough anyway, so it's hard to feel much sympathy for anyone who shells out hundreds of bucks for them. But when they arrive looking like oven-mitts for the feet... Yeah nah still no sympathy here.
I mean, lets be honest here. The originals are pretty ugly, I think this was an upgrade. XD
Why the f**k would you order those hideous shoes to begin with?? People are crazy.
Kanye West designed them, and people just want to get c**p made by celebrities. It's kind of like buying ugly Balenciaga platform crocs just because they're Balenciaga. But, yeah. People are crazy.
Load More Replies...Lol they just made the post to go (somewhat) viral.... those slippers are from www.bannedgoodnyc.com & all they sell is slippers in sneaker form
They actually look really comfortable. Wouldn't want to try to run in them, though.
I has some joke slippers of a similar shape/style once. They had a dogs face on the front complete with floppy ears

Load More Replies...From A French Airbnb Alternative
It's all about perspective. Like any business, people on Airbnb want to show what they have from its very best side, even if that means that the reality doesn't always match up to expectations...You gotta give them 5 stars for trying though!
This happened to me with a hotel. The pictures made the pool to look huge and is was barely 2 swimming lanes width.
Have also noticed that on travel sites if there is a funny ''curve' to the room photo it is approximately the size of a broom closet
Load More Replies...Hey, its still a pool, I'd still visit. Is it full of water though? You do have to fill these things you know.
You can tell it's not an in-ground pool from the first picture. You can see the wrinkles in the fabric lining where it's encasing the horizontal pole that makes up the edge/boarder of the pool. You can also see that that is an open gap in the corner and not something like a pool filter or decorative tile in the corner. Lack of observation is on them.. ouch...lol.
Incredible Unicorn Calendar From Amazon
So far, this gem has a 1-star rating on Amazon and judging by the reviews, it doesn't look like it's going to rise anytime soon. Buyers are complaining that "the photos inside are not at all like the cover." They are line and stick drawings, not mythical scenes. But I guess that's why they wouldn't allow clients to preview the contents.
They made a whole calendar out of MS clip art, and someone bought it. Impressive.
I found the clipart used with very little searching. I-found-it...e31ee8.png
Unicorns really don't like having their photo taken-so theres that...
Hopes Were Crushed
Mistake number 1: Ponchos for guys are never cool, unless you are deep in the Andes, sipping mate and herding llamas with the locals.
Mistake number 2: Ordering anything online and expecting to look as effortlessly stylish as the model. Not gonna happen, Friar Tuck!
Thanks! It really is funny :-D But you can wear it easily. At Carnaval. Or a convention. A themed party. On vacation in the Andes. And many more!
I don't get this one, it looks just like it was supposed to. Probably works just like it's supposed to too
I agree I think they both look the same. You may want to look like the model but the fact that you don't is down to you not what you're wearing.
Load More Replies...YES!!! Or are they calling Clint Eastwood in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly NOT COOL???!?!

I Didn't Expect It To Look Like Pig Feet
Pigmaid? Merpig? Instead of Netflix and chill looking like a sultry siren of the sea, your dainty trotters and snout in the popcorn could give a different impression entirely. It's not even the same material ffs..
You are not supposed to put your feet in there :D That's why it doesn't look like the photo... :D

What's 50 inches long, 35 inches high, and looks like a body bag? Your new $40 couch, that's what!
It's the same frame, but yeah those are NOT the pillows from the image. The sewing on them is all wrong for them to even reasonably sit in the frame as intended, and the back pillow is both shorter and missing its buttons compared to the advertisement.
You’d get a better couch driving around a neighbor hood, or a garage sale. Then pay to have it cleaned by Stanley steamers!
Omg. You really got screwed. That's awful. It's kind of hard to believe there are so many companies out there that think nothing of stealing people's hard working money.
When Your Dress You Ordered Looks Exactly Like The Pic Online
Of course there are also companies that won't even make the effort to deceive, but will flat-out rip you off instead. Getting your ass of the couch and going to an actual shop to purchase your clothes suddenly seems much more appealing!
I don't understand people who see the dress on the right online, pay five dollars for it and then expect it to be the same. If it seems too good to be true, it most likely is
But if they'd just used opaque fabric for the bottom half of the dress, it would have been pretty close to the original.
Load More Replies...It's a hideous dress and shouldn't even exist in the first place.
Hey, why he affraid to show off those $30 panties? They are prettier than the dress. You look like a celebrity. It's all the new rage. Nude clothing.
Wow the girl they got with their order doensn't look like the girl in the promo-pick at all.
Thanks Walmart, For My New Rug
Read the description carefully! Some asshole companies are intentionally misleading, anyone could be forgiven for thinking this chair cover is a rug. Unless those slippers belong to Barboie or something...
actually it's a cat kit kitten....add water and watch it grow!

Gotta get rid of that elephant. That's the 3rd cat this month.

sent it back to china, where there ain't no tribble at all.
Load More Replies...I've Actually Been Trolled By China. I Ordered The One On The Left From AliExpress And The One On The Right Turned Up
Ok, the good thing is that the seller accepts returns "if product is not as described." The bad thing is that the buyer has to pay the return shipping fee. But why either of these products were ever conceived of and manufactured, we'll never know.
Now I'm curious why do you want to have the first one? Why would anybody want it?
I wish the voters that were misled could return the candidate who was not as he was described.
TBH, I'd rather look at Kim's face any day over this idiot d**k-tater jackass we have as our President!
I Ordered These Boots On Sale From Aldo.Com For 50% Off. I Received One Shoe
Pretty sure this woman is not Cinderella that would be comfortable walking around with just one shoe. Maybe that's why they were 50% off?
Gotta read the fine print. Says "items sold separately" in tiny letters on bottom right(in Chinese).
I once bought a set of three socks - in a shop, mind you! - and ended up laughing my head off when I realized that I had bought what was actually sold as advertised: a set of three socks. Not three pairs of socks. Three socks.
I suppose technically you did get 50% off... just not what you expected. 50% off the price for the pair, not 50% off the actual pair.
The Bear Mask My Friend Ordered Vs The Nightmare Fuel He Received
Halloween can be a stressful time: choosing the costume, ordering it, trying it on. And what if they send you the least thing you've expected? Apparently the owners dog found it so distasteful that he stole it off the table and shredded it. So this guy is back to square one with his Halloween costume!
Write the first review!!! "RAWR is what i said when i looked like i had just awoken from a coma."
They omitted all the bad reviews. Thus, "no reviews." Lol
Load More Replies...What I Ordered Vs. What Was Delivered. I Paid $135 For This Mess...
It's hard to believe these aren't before and after photos from an episode of Nailed It!
This woman actually ordered a cake for her sisters baby shower. "Five minutes before the shower started this monstrosity showed up. I was shocked. I had to leave the shower to go to the grocery store and get a sheet cake. The worst part was when I contacted the caterer and they didn’t want to refund my money because “it was servible/edible.” !
The people who pay $5 for things and then don't get what they wanted I go "what did you expect", and have a chuckle, but this is terrible!! I would not call $135 cheap for the cake you ordered, in fact I would call it expensive, to then get that is absolutely dreadful.
I can't believe anyone would charge $135 for the good version of that. You can get ready made and beautifully decorated cakes at our local supermarket for about NZ$40.
Load More Replies...That cake is wrong on so many levels... actually all of it's levels are horrible
That can be normal to set the layers level, but the cardboard should be smaller than the cake that sits on top of it so it's not seen.
Load More Replies...This is literally how the bakery at work gets so much late minute business. "Someone at church", "my friend's aunt", "a friend of the family" so often fail to come through. Wedding cakes, baby shower cakes, sweet 16s, funerals...in the end, most of them end up at our grocery store. It makes me sad so many people get ripped off on this stuff.
I hope they lodged a formal complaint. I'd pay maybe $10 for that monstrosity.
The fact that they didn't even try to make it look like the original tho..
If the woman paid with a credit card: CHARGE BACK!... Then go to Yelp and let others know your experience. Customer Service training motto: A SATISFIED CUSTOMER TELLS FRIENDS AND FAMILY. AN ANGRY CUSTOMER TELLS EVERYONE!
Make sure to post about this comany on Yelp and any other place you can think of.
people still use yelp? o,0 the vast majority of reviews on their are fake- both the positive and the negative.
Load More Replies...Sorry for your misfortune. They really gave you a screwin', but $135 for a cake would have been insane, even if it was the right one! Good grief!
My Little Sister Ordered A Blanket Online
After the seller tweeted this $40 chunk of a blanket, people immediately started suggesting ideas for using it. Someone thought it might be a good potholder, while others even saw it as a barrister's wig. However, maybe the model in the pic was just really, really tiny?
Do you have a cat or a dog? Or a friend with a pet you could sell it to?
Why do people never bother to look at the sizes in the listing? Photos are all well and good, but there's no such thing as an honest marketing photo.
Can't say this enough......NEVER order something where size is a concern without checking the listed measurements.
I Wish I Was Making This Up
Yeah starships are cool but are you sure you don't want to join another crew?
The guy who ordered it said it came via Royal Mail, what a betrayal!
Did someone think it was close enough if it rhymed? You know, 3XL. 4XL, 5XL, DHL ...
Wife Thought The Skillet Would Be A Little Bigger
This guy's wife thought she got a great 'lightning' deal for a skillet on Amazon paying just $5. After arrival, though, they discovered this was a pan only suitable for a Barbie.
And what is in that pic, a cherry tomato and a lizard egg? Cooking dinner in this tiny skillet is certainly one way to keep the calories down!
I have 3 cast-iron frying pans. A smaller one I consider medium, a regular size one and a very big one. If it was a average size tomato, the photo on the left would fit as my medium pan. It was probably what she hoped. People should read the dimensions given and if none are, then don't trust them.
Load More Replies...I know right?! I feel bad that she was expecting a full size skillet and got this thing. If she paid a lot for it, I feel extra bad. But still... it's adorable!
Load More Replies...Perfect for 1 fried egg - a friend had something similar. Seriously - that is what they are for. An egg to go with your grilled bacon.
This. I've seen these for sale at the local grocery store. They're meant for cooking one egg. While they strike me as problematic unless you're using an induction cooktop it seems they would be fine for the purpose.
Load More Replies...Wish they would include the description of these items. I have never had something like this happen to me.
Toy Gun For A Toy
It might be hard to size up your opponent with this tiny gun, but like they always say size doesn't matter right?
I have done the same thing. I was fuming and ready to let the shop have a piece of my mind until I really looked at the order. It was in small print, the dimensions, but it was there. Now I make sure to really read everything!
When Amazon Only Delivers Half Of Your Kayak
He was ready for some raging waters, but it looks like the delivery process already did some damage...

I Ordered A Smart Light Bulb And Got A Chrome Fidget Spinner In A Light Bulb Box
The review he left on Amazon was spot on:
"I ordered this item on a cold Sunday night, and was pleasantly surprised on Monday morning when a package arrived with my name on it. I eagerly opened my Amazon package, giddy with the promise of 120 colours to brighten up my bedroom, and when I found a light bulb sized box emblazoned with the words "Smart RGBW Bulb" I was delighted, all was going to plan.
However, my hopes of multi-coloured illumination came crashing down, I was shocked. I felt as if the 265 volts that were meant to be running through my smart light bulb were running through me. To my dismay, and with a growing feeling of confusion, I realized I was not the proud owner of a WIFI Smart Bulb, I was instead the bewildered owner of a chrome fidget spinner, fidget spinner case, and a small screwdriver (despite there seeming to be no screw head on the spinner).
Now, with my tail between my legs, and Hermes en route to collect my fidget spinner, I am forced to endure additional nights of bland, colourless light.
I have many questions, where is my bulb? Why did a fidget spinner come in a light bulb box? Why is this available on prime? Who hired someone who can confused a light bulb and a fidget spinner, and how dark must their house be? All questions I doubt I will ever get answers to.
I'm summary, order a different light bulb. Unless you want a fidget spinner, then this is the light bulb for you."
To the people that go to this level to steal a light bulb from Amazon. Your parents have failed you, or you have just failed them. One way or another YOU are a failure!
I can see what the sellers were thinking: "Play with this while you wait for your lightbulb"
This gentleman's review....still a better love story than twilight. Seriously though, if this individual wrote a fiction title, I'd read the excrement out of it! Far better than the majority of the other authors swill that I've read.
That's quite uncanny! Who knows? Maybe you can predict the future?
Load More Replies...Probably a pick and switch, they exchanged your pricless package for a dumb toy. Happens all the time in complexes and big cities.
I've seen pictures of face creams that arrived open, with big scoops taken out and nasty mold growing in the jar. A lot of people are happy to rip Amazon off, apparently, judging by how many "arrived open and filthy" reviews I see for all kinds of things!
Some Boots From Amazon
From the people that brought you Guccy, Louis Button, Ill-tempered birds and the Fony Playstation, here are an authentic pair of 'Wulf' boots!
Note: If it seems to good to be true, it most definitely, definitely is.
I think it's more important to buy BRANDS you know and trust, rather than the company who is shipping them to you
I found out the hard way that legitimate brands can be counterfeited pretty convincingly on Amazon. I bought a cleansing brush from what looked like the official Clarisonic store on Amazon but when it stopped working I called customer support and they told me it was a fake!
Load More Replies...You can get plenty of legit stuff on amazon the one plus is that they will refund u
Ordering Blanket Online
When you're ordering from Wish ironically you don't always get what you wished for.
This guy saw the perfect blanket that looked both luxurious and comfy, and got a napkin instead. Hopefully he has a dog or a cat or maybe a hamster that this could be useful for!
Well, that's actually a pretty good item from Wish. I mean, it appears to be actual blanket fabric. If they didn't specify the size, you probably got your money's worth from them!
I hate wish. The dress I bought is so bad, I can't even look at it. It's not worth spending the postage to return it, so it's being kept only as a reminder to never, ever buy clothing online
Ok so wish doesn’t cut it either except with makeup... damn! Where are all the honest vendors who want repeat business, and not a death by tweet or Facebook???
Wipe those feet! Or maybe it is for the toilet on those frosty nights so your tootsies don't freeze?
Ordering from Wish is your first mistake. Their inventory is largely items that are too poor quality to be sent to Dollar Stores.
Amazon Misunderstanding
Kinfine has a 1 star rating online. People need to do their research before they buy!
This guy must not have looked at any of the reviews, I just Googled Kinfine boys arm chair, 2 Amazon reviews showed up on Google's list, they both mentioned boys & little chair. This is the 2nd review: We bought this for our son when he was about a year old. He's almost three now, and it still looks great. It's the perfect size for kids, and he loves having a chair ...
a lot of these are just their own fault.. if you check the reviews and comments you can prevent a lot of these fails^^
I was going ot say the same thing. I saw the posts showing the original images..and if you look below them...you see star ratings of 3 or less. Do your research before buying people!
Load More Replies...A lot of the clothing look like "Wish" orders, quality clothing doesn't come at the cheap dollar store prices.
Clothes from Wish really suck. Pretty much all of them were made of lousy fabric, one was so cheap it was almost like sandpaper. And even though I order several sizes larger they are always too small. I've given up on clothes from them.
Load More Replies...Reminds me of when I ordered a tailored costume and I gave my hip/butt size, they emailed me saying that "No one has such big hips" and made the size of the pants to small...Yeah okay chinese person far far away that has never seen me, thank you for telling me what my measurments are.
I don't get how people, afer all those "dissapointed in dress that came from Aliexpress/Amazon/Wish" articles still buy clothing in those "stores". How blatantly [instert stupid/ignorant/naive or w/e else you want here] you have to be? :/
And to think that physically going to a store to get stuff is becoming less and less common. It's also upsetting to think that we'll have to deal with getting scammed via online shopping 24/7 in the future because nobody will shop in physical stores anymore. It will be a really sad day for people who want actually decent service when we switch to online shopping completely in the future. I tried to buy some Lululemon leggings for a cheaper price off of Amazon, plain black, size 4, got leggings that were labeled "Size 4" on the tag, but were big enough to be considered a size 8. Tried them on once, couldn't even get them to stay on my hips. I don't want to have to expect this in the future with online shopping. When brick and mortar stores disappear, it will be a very sad day for me. Be careful when online shopping, people!
I just don't have the energy to go to stores, disabled changing rooms are awkward and changing once is exhausting. Staff get irritated with my chair, I get tired of snide comments. If I get up the energy to go to a shop, highly unlikely I'll be able to try it on, so I might as well order online if I'm going to be trying it on at home anyway. 😂 Not all online places are bad, but if your are getting something that looks like it's worth £50 to £150 for £4.99, it's highly likely to be c**p.

You might add that many even ordered obviously wrong sizes, did not read about the dimensions, or plainly had wrong items shipped that any half-decent shop would immediate accept for a return. This series is disappointing compared to similar series we had before.
Load More Replies...A lot of these are sad but funny. I shop online a lot and have never run into these types of issues. I have purchased from Wish and Ali express, but always have a way to convert the measurements that the item is saying online or you will end up with these same types of items. I dont purchase clothes, electronics or furniture online unless it is from a place with a physical location that i can return it to. Sadly even reviews these days are phony but I definitely do my homework on big item purchases before I click checkout. But these are hilarious.
it happened to me recently. They sent something completely not what they put online. I am still waiting for their refund after paying return shipping fee $20.00

If I get up the energy to go to a shop, highly unlikely I'll be able to try it on, so I might as well order online if I'm going to be trying it on at home anyway. 😂 Not all online places are bad, but if your are getting something that looks like it's worth £50 to £150 for £4.99, it's highly likely to be c**p.

You might add that many even ordered obviously wrong sizes, did not read about the dimensions, or plainly had wrong items shipped that any half-decent shop would immediate accept for a return. This series is disappointing compared to similar series we had before.

I have purchased from Wish and Ali express, but always have a way to convert the measurements that the item is saying online or you will end up with these same types of items. I dont purchase clothes, electronics or furniture online unless it is from a place with a physical location that i can return it to. Sadly even reviews these days are phony but I definitely do my homework on big item purchases before I click checkout. But these are hilarious.
it happened to me recently. They sent something completely not what they put online. I am still waiting for their refund after paying return shipping fee $20.00
