Happy humpday! During this quarantine, we can admit that we’ve fallen into a deep rabbit hole of online shopping and the messages we receive are just from the courier rider and banks. Kuya doesn’t even have to call you anymore kasi ilang beses din naman siya pumupunta per week.

Online shopping is fun and games until you receive an item that’s not what you expected; iyak na lang sis! Check out some that will make you laugh today:

 

iPhone 11

We all know how expensive iPhones get especially when they’re the latest release. However, what would you do if you see one for Php 500? These buyers might’ve been really clueless about their purchase and it looks like they got a display used in stores. What makes it funny are the remarks of the rider!

 


Knitted Cushion

Knitted items are the comfiest and perfect for napping, just like these cushions. But somethings wrong: it’s just a photo of a knitted cushion printed on fabric. Where’s the refund?

 

Tank Top

When you just want to show your ripped body while working out but get a dress instead… But look at those glutes! The squats must’ve been paying off.

 


Weighing Scale

Planning to get on that fitness grind and actually doing it are two different things. Planning is fun while the other is just… well, nakakatamad. But when you finally collect the guts to do it, there’s no stopping! You start investing in equipment like a weighing scale to keep track of your progress. But it seems that this scale can only weigh an ant.

 


Acrylic Chair

so i ordered a chair for my room off of amazon and… pic.twitter.com/PU3N6e1GJT

Furniture hunting for a room makeover can be stressful: you need to find a piece that’s both functional and would fit your taste and space’s aesthetics. It can be expensive too! But this acrylic chair isn’t a good addition to your room. Baka for your sibling’s toys, pwede pa.

 


Official Merch

When you think you order an official thing from shopee

K-pop fans know how expensive official merch can get and how easily they’re sold out. So when you see a listing, it’s auto add to cart! We can only imagine the look on the buyer’s face when they saw their item. It kinda looks like a blue Chewbacca, though.

Sneakerhead

Via Max Hoang Trinh

Being a sneakerhead can become an expensive hobby, especially when you want to get the latest releases ASAP. Some even camp out for days to get first dibs on the hottest items. But what would you do if you paid $750 (Php 36,000+) to get a pair of chunky slippers? At least you now have comfy pambahay tsinelas! Never again, Marketplace.

EXPECTATION vs. REALITY
Salamat Shopee!!! @isabellelazo pic.twitter.com/obQRcEY2eS

When you’ve finally given into organizing all the items you’ve bought these past months (don’t be ashamed) but get something that would fit right in Barbie’s dollhouse. Trolley carts are a very useful home item you can use for the kitchen or your room but when you receive something like this, it seems that only candy or paper clips would fit.
