20 Times People Were Disappointed By Online Shopping Expectations



You're mistaken if you think that you can't be one of those people who had a slightly unfortunate experience in online shopping. Shared on the subreddit of 'Reality vs. Expectation' is the crushed hope of inexperienced, virgin online shoppers who've never tasted fails. Placing an order online is a real throw of the dice - you don't know what you'll get until you unbox the package at home.

Some of these people have never experienced the taste of being disappointed in online purchases. It's not that horrible, though, because, at the very least, we can all get a good laugh at what the sellers send. More often than not, they are way too far off the pictures they used when listing the products.
