I started shopping online intensively for most of our household necessities early this year. This is the year that I did the most online shopping in my entire life, thanks to Covid-19. Overall, I’m happy and satisfied with 95% of my purchases as they were usually purchased during online sales with great discounts, free shipping and cashback. But I’ve had my fair share of WTF!! moments too. Laugh in your sleeve if you wish\ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You would have read my recent post on the purchase of a replacement scratch board from Shopee for Haru last week. When Haru got into the zoomies today, she ripped the replacement board. Again! It was a heap of cardboard mess and she was tangled in the long cardboard strips. This shows very poor workmanship of the scratcher, which is not even cheap. I paid RM10 just for some corrugated cardboard.
Since I couldn’t safe it anymore, the scratcher had to be binned. I don’t think I will get the replacement scratcher anymore. I’ll buy another type of scratch board which is sturdier.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These 2 packets of popcorn kernels purchased from Shopee were my mistake. I did not read the description carefully, which says ‘kernels’. I was more attracted to the photo of the big, delicious, round mushroom popcorns.
When I opened the parcel, I got a big shock as I’d expected to see ready-to-eat popcorns. The girls and I laughed uproariously. We waited impatiently for 5 days in anticipation of enjoying some healthy plain popcorns but look what we received!
Sherilyn and Cass are excited now as they get to make popcorns! Cass has been hounding me for ages to buy popcorn kernels for her to try making popcorns. Her wish has come true now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had placed an order for DECAF Nescafe Gold from Shopee Supermarket. The picture on the Shopee website showed Nescafe Gold Decaf. However, what I received was a jar of Nescafe Gold without the word ‘DECAF’ on the front label.
I quickly snapped a photo of the item and messaged the seller. The customer service staff was prompt to reply me and told me that this is the new packaging, where there’s no ‘DECAF’ on the front label. Instead, the ‘DECAF’ word is at the back label in microscopic size fonts. WTF?!
I had to snap a picture of the back label and then enlarged it on my phone to read the words. Even with enlarging on the phone, the words were still micro mini and I could not decipher the prints! How misleading Nestle is with their poorly designed label!
Nestle: you better change the label design to stop misleading buyers!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
