A little boy’s video detailing his disappointment with an online shopping fail turned him into a viral sensation on TikTok.
The hilarious clip, shared on TikTok by @siyabongasir, showcased a relatable moment of expectation versus reality, sparking an online debate about value for money and checking reviews before buying online.
The boy, dressed in the new three-piece suit, pants, blazer, and waistcoat, expresses his profound unhappiness, pointedly asking his older brother what kind of suit he was wearing. His brother, barely able to contain his amusement, tries to reassure him that the polyester suit looks nice because it fits him perfectly. The young man, however, was not convinced. He held up the fabric, noting that the poor quality made it look exactly like pyjamas.

"Bring him, I’ll make him a suit for his event, lol."
User @Mrs N Jnr commented:
"I blame the person who placed the order, not Shein. You can’t expect good quality with R330 for a 3-piece suit. That's too good to be true. People must also normalise reading reviews and see how it looks on others."
User @~anonymous noted:
"He looks nice though✨."
User @chezatshego1 added:
"Not all Shein products are of bad quality or poor quality material. If you pay for the cheaper end, you get what you get. If you're willing to spend, buy Dazy Motf and a few others, even good kids' brands."
User @khanyis shared:
"We also bought it (the suit), the material is so thin 😭✋. The pants and waistcoat are not so bad, maybe for church😂, but the blazer ngeke (is a no) 😭."
