Online shopping is great! Who would've thought that you could buy new pants and even order all of your groceries without leaving the comfort of your couch? Alas, the great online shopping is sometimes a game of chance, and these poor people got the worse end with these shopping fails.
No matter how many cautionary tales people read about scam sites, Chinese knockoff brands, counterfeit goods, and neglected fine print, they still get tempted by discount prices on shopping sites and race to the checkout in a fury of clicks. Though shipping mishaps do happen, especially when packages are moving internationally, it's tough to imagine how postal workers let some of these epic fails to slide.
We want to hear about your online shopping site nightmare, so show us what you thought you ordered, and what you actually ended up with. Also, check out our first round of unhappy customers here.

There are some real jerkasses pickers at these companies' shipping centers. Also, I really hope the people who are victims of actual scams are getting their money back. I know that willingly buying something for a ridiculously low price is sort of self-injury here, but still... A scam is a scam.

I can sympathise because earlier this month I ordered 3 pairs of 3D glasses and instead got 2 battery holders with wires sticking out of them. Very hard to get them mixed up!

Realised now that I can upload a photo. Done! Sorry, not tried this before. I think I need new glasses!
