Do you share the common hate of going to the mall, spending loads of time walking in an out of shops and trying clothes in suspicious booths? Then you might just agree that online shopping is one of the best inventions ever. Unlimited choice of goodies just a click away eliminates the need to go out of your cozy home and allows to shop more comfortable. Also, if you have to wait at least couple of weeks for delivery, a good chance is, that you've already forgotten about your order, so it's just like getting a present from yourself.

All of this sounds great, but there are millions of proofs that this perfect story can end up as an online shopping fail. Thought you had ordered a TV stand for an outrageously good price? It turns out it's for a dollhouse. Bought a fabulous prom dress? Don't get too excited, because it will probably look like a potato sack. Sure, reading the description and reviews might save you from these funny fails, but if it did happen, at least there's something to laugh about!

Check out our list of the ultimate fails when people got nothing like they expected to get. And if these online shop fails are not enough, check our dissapointing dresses that were ordered online.

    Ha! Certain flower companies (which shall remain nameless) are notorious for this! There's a whole website dedicated to their fails!

    You're actually getting the fresh, not yet bloomed version of this same flowers. I'm impressed the company didn't send almost dead flowers as usual... The example picture maybe would last you one, maybe two, days where as what you received could last a good week. Hope you enjoyed them!

    These are Lilly's that haven't bloomed yet. If you order these it even tells you that in the fine print. I order them to be sent to my mother for her birthday. Within a week they will look like the first pic. If you are ordering to be delivered to an office or want a full bouquet choose a different flower... ????????

    Does are THE same flower as in the other pot only not opened yet..., it might be a bit smaller but if those flowers are a bit more expensive due to the season that's normal..., if they open it will be very pretty. I had a nice flower shop in Belgium and everybody was happy with my flowers

    This is actually how they are supposed to come. They open in a few days and fill out beautifully. I recently got the same flowers and wondered what was going on. The directions tell you everything...

    Mind you, alstroemeria take a long time to bloom and often arrive like this then they blossom and last for weeks.

    This isn't fair or accurate. I recognize that vase and bouquet - I've received this arrangement from ProFlowers, and it's great. They'll replace immediately if notified.
