Online shopping is one convenient and time-saving option. But since you only get to physically see the item as soon as it arrives, there’s always the risk of not getting what you asked for. You’ll just have to place your trust in the ads and product photos, and hope for the best that you do not receive a disappointing surprise.

Now I’ve Seen Everything found 15 people, who learned their lesson the hard way after their online shopping experience ended in funny fails.

1. “A friend of mine ordered a bamboo plant online, and today, it arrived in all its glory.”
