Hilarious online shopping fails will make sure you never forget to check the fine print again

Must read

 Everyone loves the convenience of shopping online, but it’s not always totally foolproof – and you don’t always receive exactly what you were expecting.

Shoppers from the US and the UK have shared snaps comparing the items they expected when ordering online – and the reality of what they received. Now Cheezburger.com has collated the images into a hilarious gallery.

Among the disappointed spenders is one who bought garden deck chairs for her garden – but forgot to check the dimensions first.

Another person tried to order a birthday cake for her daughter with a ‘blonde girl’ on it, but the order autocorrected her request to ‘blind girl’.

Meanwhile, someone else bought a new set of kitchen pots and pans and was shocked upon their arrival to see that they were miniature.

Meanwhile a person who was trying to cut calories by eating a broccoli and turkey stuffed sandwich soon realised the snap on the packing looked more appealing than the actual product.

And another shopper was left disappointed after the wedding dress she snapped up online did not look like the image.

Here, Femail takes a look at some of the worst shopping fails which have been shared online…
