A young girl was left in tears after receiving a Stanley Cup from a Chinese online retailer that was much smaller than expected.

Content creator @Masnicentertainmen, known for sharing entertainment and trending content from South Africa, posted a video at the end of April, showing a young girl's reaction after opening her online delivery.

Tips for safer online shopping

When buying items online, it's important to check the product description carefully. Make sure details like size, materials, and features match what you're looking for before making a purchase.

Reading product reviews is also very helpful. Other buyers often share whether the item matched the picture, if it arrived as described, and if they were happy with their purchase. This feedback can save you from similar disappointments.

If you receive an item that doesn't match its description, you should return it and ask for a refund. Most online retailers have return policies for products that don't match their advertised description.
