Consumers own up to their online shopping mistakes


A funny mistake: What was supposed to be a life-sized holder for a toy ‘lightsabre’ turned out to be only big enough to hold a pencil. This was after a consumer failed to check the measurements stated on the online shopping listing.

IT’S not always the sellers who are to blame for online shopping mishaps.

Consumers themselves can be the cause for their own disappointment when they make mistakes shopping online.
