50 Shades of What?
This had to be part of an April fool’s day prank. Otherwise, we will find it very difficult to explain. The book “50 Shades of Gray” was supposedly ordered on eBay. This is what the enthusiastic reader received.
It’s not all bad news, though, as eBay did stick to what was ordered (from their perspective), and we counted the number of shades on the paper. Indeed, there are 50.
Spider Scam
This one is not as bad as other shopping fails we came across, but it does put Spiderman, our childhood hero, in a new dimension. Luckily enough, Spiderman always lands on his feet.
Maybe next time, the guy who bought this would be so cheap and invest in a proper Superman hero figure from a legit shop. That is the least Peter deserves.
Ghost Of Star Wars
We’ve all gone as our all-time favorite characters for Halloween at one point, right? This girl had an intense adoration for Princess Leia and decided to go the lengths and buy a costume online for her friend’s Halloween bash.
Instead of looking like Princess Leia though, she ended up looking like a ghost! How are any of the Star Wars fans going to drool over her costume now? She could probably make a few adjustments here and there to try and achieve the look but... We could still just imagine how disappointed she was!
Undersized chair
This girl was probably just one of the many foolish buyers who doesn’t care to thoroughly research on what they’re purchasing online. Obliviously thinking she’d be receiving the right chair size without checking on the dimensions, she ended up with this little toy instead.
This is why you should never rely on just the pictures sellers provide online. It could look totally misleading!
The Easy Way Out
Always look on the bright side of life. Remember that? So even in this horrific shopping fail, we are able to find the bright side, and not all is bad news. Yes, we agree, what arrived in the post looks nothing like what was expected, but to be honest, what was expected isn't the highlight of the day either.
