Me: playing cards and juggling balls - quality was crap. I had reinstated my Amazon Prime to get a few bits and it has reminded me how crap Amazon is. Wild west for quality. Prime cancelled.

Gingham school shorts for DD2. She's quite slim, so they looked huge on her, like old fashioned bloomers and looked like they'd fall down. We've gone for grey shorts instead as they have an adjustable waist.

A jumper. It was lovely, but I chose the wrong size.

Chicken from Tesco online shopping delivery that was short dated and didn't fit with meal plans this week.

Not a big deal, they let me know and I asked them to take back and they refunded.

A label maker that went out of alignment in the first week.

Wood dye or varnish I think. Redoing our staircase.

Fit Flop wellies. The heels were too high and narrow and the rubber too soft. Twisted my ankle just getting them on, no way were they up to dog walking across rough muddy fields.

A kettle with a snapped handle.

CharlotteStreetW1 · 21/04/2024 16:22

Two pairs of wide-legged trousers which was waaaay too wide and an overhead jacket which claimed to have a chest pocket but which turned out just to be a useless flap and I really needed it to be a pocket.

A mini power washer , it was crap and leaked everywhere

Justploddingonandon · 21/04/2024 16:29

A top that looked lovely but was way too tight in my normal size and kept riding up.

Well, I’d like to return the set A level Eng Lit text they have sent that is the wrong edition but Amazon just want to refund without a return. This is weird and I’d honestly rather be sent a returns label

5 bras, ive put on more weight than i thought 😢

bilgewater · 21/04/2024 16:34

A frying pan that said on the label that it would work on induction, but it didn't!

It might not be you. I bought a sports bra from TU actually in Sainsburys not online. The medium looked tiny, so I bought large. I’m a size 12. It’s so tight it could be used as a chest binder. Sizing can be absurd

NoWordForFluffy · 21/04/2024 16:38

This week alone I've returned a (p)leather jacket, some wide leg trousers (both bought in 2 sizes as options), and a bikini.

dudsville · 21/04/2024 16:40

Socks. I thought they were brown but they're a plum purple.

TokyoSushi · 21/04/2024 16:41

A Montirex jacket for DS, I know that Montirex is a really small fit and I should size significantly up, but I often don't listen to myself 🙄

That's just how Amazon operate. They don't do exchange, it's just refund and reorder.

You’re missing the point. They sent the wrong thing (as in item not as described) and they don’t want it back but are still refunding. It’s a way they sometimes operate but not the only way. I have been given a returns procedure on other occasions for pretty much the same thing.

A hoodie I bought for DH birthday that's rather smaller than expected

FortunataTagnips · 21/04/2024 21:20

Two pairs of Camper flat Mary-Jane shoes. They looked lovely but the fit was wrong for me - I got marks on my instep just from trying them on.

OlgaRhythm · 21/04/2024 21:24

A large apricot coloured lamp shade. It was the perfect colour and size for the lamp base but the metal ring thingy was too large to sit in the bulby bit. Really annoying. Couldn't see a way to adapt it so had to send it back.

OlgaRhythm · 21/04/2024 21:25

I also have a pair of black brogue boots bought for DS which he put one toe in a declared too tight. Little sod. They are my size however and I might keep them as I think they look very smart!

wendywoopywoo222 · 21/04/2024 21:25

A dress from fat face that was labelled long. Just about covered my bum.

AnnieSF · 21/04/2024 21:26

2 dresses from Boden. Too tight on bust, material too thin and too voluminous bottom half.
