What I Wanted VS What I Got! Shoppers share their disappointment after their orders turned out to be VERY different than what they had imagined
- The buyers’ disappointment was portrayed by therocketscience.com
- People from all over the world shared botched birthday cakes and fashion fails
- Tattoo fans were also appalled at insufficient inks
- Dresses ordered online turned out to be shapeless sacks instead of glamorous gowns
Online shopping always comes with risks, especially when using a website you’ve never seen before, but sometimes it’s hard to resist a tempting bargain.
However, some awards are too good to be true, as evidenced by these amusing snaps from around the world compiled by therocketscience.com.
One kid was undoubtedly very disappointed on his birthday when the exploding Incredible Hulk 3D cake they were hoping for looked more like a flat green blob.
And ordering a glamorous dress for a special occasion is always a big risk, as customers end up with shapeless bags that bear very little resemblance to the bodycon dresses advertised.
But even ordering in person is sometimes not a guarantee as people end up with horrible tattoos that are now stuck under the needle of an unskilled artist.
