Expectation versus reality, misleading advertising, cryptic descriptions, sellers and distributors trying to get one over on you. Many times, online purchases don't turn out well at all, and customers don't hesitate to go online to voice their complaints or share the “mistake” they received. From miniature furniture to dresses with absurd sizes, here are some of the “best-worst” examples.

The only “non-tech” thing I ever ordered on Aliexpress was a pair of very convincing Converse clones. It was four weeks of tension, going over and over the message explaining my shoe size, and when the package finally arrived... I got really lucky. But there are thousands of users out there who, drawn in by the low prices of Chinese products, received something completely different, and why not, something horrifying.

Below, a gallery with the most extreme cases. From a certain point of view, we know it's a bit delusional to expect a full piece of furniture to cover half the world with free shipping, but there are examples that are truly unmissable. Enjoy, and if something similar happened to you in the past, leave a comment!
