online shopping is great! The convenience and prices are second-to-none, and there's the added thrill of not knowing exactly what you will get, and when you do get it, you might have already forgotten that you ordered it in the first place - just like getting a present from yourself!

Shopping online may be a great way to save a pretty penny, but it can also turn into a hilarious if not unfortunate experience. Here at Bored Panda, we have compiled a list of funny online shopping fails, such as the famous painting of Great Wave of Kanagawa composed entirely from pugs, a chair so tiny that it can only be meant to be used for ants, a ginormous unicorn float and many other online scams and perfect examples of crappy design. All of these bargains can shortlist you for wish fails, proving that sometimes, the mall is better after all.

Scroll down below to check the hilarious misfortunes and shoddy product designs out for yourself and learn the lesson from these funny online shopping fails!

That is in no way a fail - that's all kinds of win.

I hope you like Pugs!! Yeah ordering off the Internet can be hit and miss. I'm still waiting for a back ordered item that was to have been a Christmas gift!!!

I've learned the hard way to never order anything from WISH. After 3 orders of huge c**p sent to me, I gave it up. Nothing comes as in the pic or descriptions.

When you think about the wave and the fact that the dogs are going to go under...poor pugs. Otherwise, it isn't the worst thing someone can buy online

Drawing pugs is so much more difficult than drawing the white froth. I think someone did this with some intention we cannot understand.

Don't you see it's pure propaganda! The Japanese red sun with Mt. Fuji in the background. On the right side. However, on the left, there is an American Eagle's head, which creates the upper wave, with It's right wing extending out making the lower wave. It's beak crumbling at the tip, with US dollars falling, to create the water spray from the wave. The cute pugs turn into haunting images of Asian Children's faces with what looks like blood spewing from their foreheads. The artist was very clever to create such subliminal images, so carefully camouflaged under cute and endearing puppy pics. Just when you think, you have figured out all of the secrets, only to be fooled again, by the hidden propaganda..

I do a lot of on-line shopping, most of it is good. If something isn't, & the seller doesn't co-operate, either E-Bay or PayPal are guaranteed to get your money back for you.

Wtf? They seem to have good customer service though so I'm guessing you could go to a store and they would fix it. I order from the all the time! Only issue I've had was they sent me an extra item one time which I brought back for no refund obviously but they didn't know how to enter it into their system since it was never purchased lol

The funny bone these sellers have is huge 😂 you know when they see what they sold, they're in their office just laughing at the buyer, because you know, they know the buyer don't know their trickery.
