Online shopping is so incredibly convenient. You get to browse from the comfort of your couch in your pajamas, and then it’s delivered directly to your door. Brilliant! And even though the options online are endless…you never really know what you’re going to get.

Here are 12 people that wish they could take back their online shopping experience.

If the deal looks too good to be true, it probably is.

1) Comfy?

This guy does not look happy! To be fair to the seller, they did put the word “Boys” in the product title, so it should have been clear to any potential buyers that the chair probably wasn’t going to be adult-sized.

2) A Little High

Why did they put the pockets so high up?! Who could possibly walk around like that all the time?

3) Why?

We have no idea what happened here or why, but we can’t stop laughing about it. The ‘thumbs up’ pose really makes the image so much better.

4) Not The Desired Effect

Shopping for clothes online can be so much easier and more convenient, but it can backfire in big ways. Just ask this girl.

5) Kitty’s Going On An Adventure

Imagine buying a backpack and getting something no bigger than the palm of your hand! What is anyone supposed to put in such a small bag?

6) You Can Fry Half An Egg

Maybe you could fry a baby tomato in that thing. Or a single slice of onion. Or half of an egg. Or a quarter of a burger patty.

7) It’s So Small

Gosh, the lady in that photo sure must be tiny if she can wrap herself up like that in such a teeny tiny blanket.

8) Burn It!

This is just terrifying! The mask in the photo looks pretty cute and fluffy, but the one that arrived is hideous! They could make a horror film based all around that mask.

9) Size Matters

Here’s another example of a product seeming to be a lot bigger in the images online than it really is in reality. If you think you’re getting a great deal on something like a rug, be sure to check all the measurements before confirming your order.

10) Whoops

The product images for this dainty dress made it seem gorgeous online, but when it arrived, this girl soon discovered that the bottom half was actually totally transparent!

11) Wish You Were Here?

You probably wouldn’t want to send a postcard from this vacation. Some travelers booked this rental place, expecting to enjoy a week of luxury after viewing the photos online, but when they arrived, the pool wasn’t quite what they expected.

12) At Least They Look Comfortable

Buying shoes online is always a big risk. It’s hard to get the sizes right, and you never know how shoes are going to look on your feet until you actually have them there in front of you. In this case, it’s clear that the images shown online do not reflect the final product!
