Woman snags bargain set of drawers for her renovation – but is bitterly disappointed when they turn up as MINIATURES
MORE and more people are relying on the internet for all of their shopping needs.
But it can be pretty risky business when it comes to the product actually meeting your expectations - especially when the price seems too good to be true.
If you've ever ordered anything online than chances are you'll know exactly how it feels when it arrives at your door looking completely different to how it was advertised.
Savvy shopper Siobhan Mcknight was on a retail high thinking she'd bagged the bargain of a lifetime, but as it turns out, the term "always read the fine print" has never been more fitting.
In a bid to find the perfect set of drawers for her bedroom, Siobhan went online hoping to snatch up a bargain.
Alongside a picture of the drawers she'd received, she said: "Thought I'd give you all a giggle. Bought what I thought was the bargain of the year on Groupon - chest of drawers for £16.99. Me being me didn't bother to look at sizes etc, looked big in the pictures"
And her very relatable post spoke to anyone who has ever ordered anything online, with many sharing their own online shopping fails, and some even suggesting alternative uses for her tiny drawers.
One person said: "I’ve made many a mistake buying online, I think we all have & it’s a lovely jewellery box btw "
Hilariously, a second person wrote: "Oh I've done this ordered a gorgeous rug off amazon! It turned up in an envelope!! Was for a dolls house"
And turns out Siobhan wasn't the only one who fell for the too-good-to-be-true bargain that was a cheap set of beautiful drawers.
One person who'd bought the same drawers said: "I made the same mistake but my daughter absolutely loves it and uses it for her nail varnish and make up."
While a second wrote: "Omg I did exactly the same with the exact same drawers!! Much to the amusement of my family who think it’s hilarious!!"
For more laughable fails, this woman shared her hilarious eBay fail when her new bathroom mirror turned out to be ‘for a Barbie house’.
Meanwhile, this mortified woman splashes out on a dress with waist cut-outs – but it doesn’t even cover her boobs
And, this shopper has blasted Primark for a typo on a Harry Potter hoodie.
