8 in 10 Americans are now shopping online. While most of these people are happy with the result, some of them receive things that are not quite as they expected.

There are lots of advantages to buying stuff online. However, without reading the description carefully, you’ll find online shopping is not as easy to do as you thought.

We at Bright Side prepared the most ridiculous expectation vs reality results of this online adventure.
