We bet these people will never again trust ads and marketing!
We all love a bit of retail therapy and buying online has taken the shopping world by storm! We can order and pay from the comfort of our sofa, often get really good deals and then just sit back and wait for our parcels to arrive. But that's when things can get tricky... And if there's one piece of advice we can give you, whether you're buying online or not, it's to read the small print or you could end up bitterly disappointed!
We've all had times when we may have bought some compulsively in a store only to later regret it, but if you really want to understand the word 'disappointment', then take a browse through this list. If one thing's for sure, these 20 people will probably never make the same mistake again! What about you? Have you ever felt betrayed by retailers or ordered something without full checking out the description? Share your stories with us below!
