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!

Jessica Stohr 6 years ago
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

This is why people really need to start using www.fakespot.com when buying on amazon. Way too many Chinese products with FAKE reviews. This website will tell you if those reviews are fabricated or not. Amazon also needs to fix this problem ASAP.

never heard of this site I have now bookmarked it thanks

Well to be fair, lots of these are a result of people not checking the size before ordering.

When you buy cheap from China you are supporting the bosses of people working in terrible conditions for very poor pay. Most of the posters here have the money to buy from decent companies with reputable work conditions that you can check out. They just want to get as cheap a deal as possible. When you buy from China you are buying potentially dangerous items using banned chemicals, unsafe equipment or clothing for your children etc. Proper companies have to adhere to the laws that protect the consumer and the factory worker. Equally you Know named products are fake at those prices, come on people!
