THANKS SHALLOT

I ordered trendy jeans from Depop… but when I opened the parcel, I was mortified – some say it’s a win

THOSE who are on the lookout for trendy, second-hand garments know just how full of hidden gems Depop can be.

But just like with all fashion online, buying something you don't have the chance to see in person comes with a huge risk.

And unfortunately, nobody knows this better than one unlucky fashionista who had a rather unpleasant experience with the shopping app.

According to the style lover, they had ordered a pair of trendy jeans - but upon opening the parcel, they were in for a surprise.

Rather then denim bottoms, in turned out, they received... almost a dozen of small onions.

Baffled, the Depop fan immediately proceeded to send a message to the seller who had sent out the package of the goods.

''Hello, before I open a Depop case for this, do you have any reasonable explanation why I just received a parcel with onions in it instead of the jeans I ordered?''

But it appears that the person on the other end was just as confused, completely unaware of the total mishap.

''WHAT? Seriously?

''Um, I'm honestly really confused, what the hell.''

They went on to add: ''W*f? I don't understand, wdym [what do you mean] onions?

''Soryy, I'm really confused, I sent the Levis,'' the seller claimed, before asking if the delivered parcel looked open to the unfortunate shopper.

A screenshot of the conversation between the parties involved - as well as the snap of the mini onions sitting in the parcel - was submitted to the popular Instagram account, .

And it's safe to say that social media users were left in stitches, with one chuckling: ''free onions? in this economy?? score.''

Another joked: ''There's a budding gardening enthusiast somewhere who just received a nice pair of Levis.''

Someone else suggested: ''i think that's garlic but like make pasta and go crazy.''

Many chuckled at the unfortunate mishap, with some suggesting the shopper used them for cooking
