Purchasing things online can certainly be a gamble, as you never know what you might receive once you click 'buy.' Unfortunately, an online buyer got the short end of the stick when she saw that what she thought she had purchased from Temu wasn't what she got.

No fun with no furniture

A TikTokker named Lola Bright shared that her friend ordered a lounge chair from the popular online marketplace. The unique piece of furniture had curved wooden legs, which made it a rocking chair, a feature that would have anyone sold to lounge about!

However, instead of getting a heavy parcel, the woman received a small framed picture of the exact lounge chair.

The unfortunate buyer, who presumably only looked at the picture of the item, didn't share the cost or description of the product, which would have been a clear indication of what she was getting.

After seeing the failed purchase, Lola captioned her post:

"I honestly can’t stop laughing."
