35 Hilarious Shopping Fails That Prove You Should Always Read The Reviews (New Pics)

We needed a good spoon to stir jam making and I accidentally ordered this spoon that can double as a short sword. lol

Going to give it to a friend that has a giant wok.

After weeks of calling customer service to actually get what I've already paid for, I finally got a knock on my door. Delivery!!! Finally!!! New microwave!!! Weeeeee. Not. I signed, got the parcel inside, and discovered the microwave was now a gaming chair, a low quality one too. So I called customer service. After keeping me on hold for an eternity, they said they'll let me know in a week (or two) if they'll pick it back up and deliver the item I actually bought.... IF!!!

Package said it was delivered. I went to open it up and found this carpet...which I did not order. Has anyone had something similar happen and did it get resolved?

500 on a GPU. Thier support sent me an email saying "they confirmed it was shipped out and have denied my claim" I even had a video of me opening the box. I knew I shouldn't have bought from newegg.

The letter says:
"Dear, ****

It even had the paper insert the person used to describe the shirt. I guess Amazon didn't even look inside the box when processing the return. I ordered a new item, not a warehouse deal. Recently they sent me another returned item without original packaging when I ordered new, but at least it was the correct item that time.

Bought these long distance bracelets off a Facebook ad. Reviews were good, had a legit website and social media pages, everything checked out. Now almost 2 months later I finally get my package….. I actually laughed out loud it’s so bad. Learned my lesson for sure but figured y’all would appreciate my laughable luck.

It was a heavy weighted blanket to mask the thievery. My sister ordered this for my kids on Amazon. My kids were so bummed out even though Amazon is letting us return it.

It was supposed to be a gift from him to my mom. They still love it but… The outcome is just so terrible I think we can only laugh about it instead of being disappointed.

I actually laughed because what are the odds exactly that one piece I was looking for is missing?

etsy is wild.. this seller goes by christophebytatoyian & willingly shipped this god awful design to me. 10,000+ sales & w speechless.

To be fair, they sent the wrong item, but this was after months of waiting because it was on back order.

It is from a Kuromi advent calendar from Amazon. The other stuff has been fine, so far (little figures, hair accessories etc) but wtf is this. It's some fluff and tape. At first, I thought maybe a day later, at least, there will be a small diy finger puppet or something in it that would explain whatever this is, but nothing yet.

Weirdest thing about it is that I went on Amazon to my past orders because I was curious if other people maybe left a review and mentioned something about it and my order history is now showing a completely different calendar that I have never seen before and definitely didn't order. Can't find the calendar I have anywhere.

Minor defaults everywhere but the head. Made in China indeed. I really fear the first wash, hoping it won't fall apart.

I placed the order online throughout my insurance provider, they said "keep it, we'll overnight your order". Now wtf I'm supposed to do with it.

Ordered 2 mystery shirt packs (2 shirts in each) from Bethesda, and got 4 of the same shirt.

The sticker bag was empty and instead, I received a party hat set.

Ordered for Christmas, but delivered now. Totally worth the wait.
The back piece doesn’t even fit to hold it up.

These are ordered from Nordina Home. I opened a case and they confirmed these “are the walnut ones”. They also quoted their site about how “individual items may vary”. I ordered 12. They did give me a 20% discount because of the mismatch though. I’m almost certain they’re just shipping out their less popular colors knowing it’s better to lose a percentage than to write them off completely.

My husband recently purchased a large construction tool on Amazon or $2,000. We both had a feeling it was fake because it had no reviews and was $1K off the original price. But he bought it anyway to see what would happened (assuming Amazon would reimburse us if it was a scam).
This is what we got in the mail has anyone else seen this scam on Amazon?
Note that the pamphlet states that the item will come in a separate package. We know it won’t and my guess is that the scammer hopes people will just wait until the 30 day return lapses and never get the “second” shipment.

It isn't just sticker gunk, it pulled off some of the covers. I am annoyed and now also scared to take the one off the other book.

I ordered a portrait of my dog from a website and this is what they sent me. I can request a change but I don’t know where to start. The portrait just feels creepy for some reason.
