Though online shopping has quickly become a popular choice for Aussies from all walks of life, it's still not foolproof! The internet is full of hilarious stories of online shopping gone wrong, and we've found one that has left us in stitches.

A woman named Adriana recently posted her unexpected Amazon order, and it's a sight for sore eyes. We've all had our fair share of parcel mishaps, but this one takes the cake!

Adriana ordered refillable cosmetic jars for her homemade lotion, a very practical purchase. Instead of receiving the jars she was hoping for, Adriana received a bizarre item – a colourful macaw onesie!

With much amusement, the baffled shopper shared, 'This is the first time Amazon ever got my order wrong and, I’m not going to lie, I’m not mad'.

Her video immediately went viral, racking up 9.8 million views and 1.3 million likes, sparking laughter and good-natured banter with over 14,000 comments. It seems that Adriana's mix-up struck a chord with the millions of online shoppers who have experienced similar hiccups.

One person aptly remarked, 'Sometimes the universe gives you what you need, not what you want'.

Another commenter added, 'I think you got the better end of this deal', and Adriana wholeheartedly agreed, responding, 'Concurring like I’ve never concurred before'.

The strange swap actually seemed to delight the accidental onesie-owner. She embraced her new feathery attire, declaring, 'I didn’t need those stupid jars anyway. Now this onesie, this I needed, and I didn’t even know.’

Adriana's followers joined in on the fun, sharing their own delivery mishaps: 'I ordered a steering wheel cover and got a slip ‘n’ slide one time from Amazon', said one, while another chimed in, 'I ordered pants for my hubby and they sent us tiny pink gloves'.

Reading these anecdotes, we can't help but wonder what really goes on behind the scenes at the world's largest online retailers! What is the moral of the story? Embrace life's little surprises and always read the product description carefully before hitting 'buy'.

As Adriana put it, 'Because it will bring you so much joy', we take this as a reminder to find excitement in the unexpected – even if that means donning a colourful macaw onesie instead of organising homemade lotions in refillable jars!

Common Online Shopping Mishaps – Tips for Avoiding Unwelcome Surprises​

Few things are more frustrating than being ready for your eagerly anticipated delivery, only to open up a package that’s not what you expected or ordered. But with online shopping becoming more popular than ever, uncertainty about delivery accuracy and satisfaction is an important issue for customers. Fortunately, there are steps we can take to ensure that we get exactly what we order and minimise the risk of online shopping mishaps.

Make Sure to Order From a Reputable Retailer​

Firstly, it’s important to make sure you’re ordering from a reputable online retailer. Read customer reviews on the website or social media pages to get a better understanding of their delivery success rate. If you’re buying from a third-party seller, make sure they use a secure payment service and look out for warning signs such as the use of incorrect grammar or spelling.

Double-check Product Description​

Secondly, if you’re buying a particular item from a website, make sure you double-check the product description, specs and images before purchasing. Also, check the return policy and understand the terms and conditions in case you do need to return the product. When it comes to delivery, make sure you keep the order confirmation and track the shipment so you know exactly when the delivery should arrive.

By following these steps, you can be sure your next online shopping experience will be a pleasant one.

Key Takeaways

• A woman's Amazon order took an unexpected turn when she received a colourful macaw onesie instead of refillable cosmetic jars.
• Her video showing off the bizarre item received 9.8 million views and 1.3 million likes.

I do not know if these on line order companies allow their employees to take their mobile phones into the work place, if they do some of them might be more interested in what calls they get and not keeping their mind on the articles they are packing, Just a thought.

How bizarre! Never had an issue with Amazon.

I've never had an issue with Amazon and they are so quick in delivering.

I purchased awhole lot from Temu , the clothing I ordered was shocking I'm glad I could send it back for a refund

Hubby ordered stuff for outdoor eg cable ties these were OK not great but ok for the price, he ended up keeping them .
It is free easy returns but I will never ever buy clothes from them again. Looked nothing like the photos and soooo cheap quality

I usually get what I ordered. And yes, sometimes the quality is awful but thats the fun of the chase. My mishap was an interesting one, but I did score. I ordered a baby nappy bag for my daughter in law and got a compostible toilet. They resent the nappy bag, but told me to keep the toilet. My son living off grid was very happy.

I've had a few hits and miss's, one particular item I could not quite work out then I realised that I had ordered a dress. What turned up could only be described as a top with ambitions.

 

[MindyMac]

I have stopped ordering online with overseas companies for products that falsely state another country but is always Chia. Clothes via online, what I got was rubbish. Ignore the beautiful clothes that pop up on screen as the companies are using other company photos and do their own fake made-up rubbish, or they send noting at all.
