Absolutely fed up ordering online

I have a disability, temporary until I have a 2nd operation so I've been ordering all my gifts online, some quite expensive.
I've so far had to return 10 items which is all but 2 of them because they are not what I ordered, delivered to a house the other side of town, are incredibly unsafe for small children Amazon toys that turn out to be from China, full of checkable pieces and highly flammable!!! The wrong size and just crap.
There were some supposedly pure wool, handmade slippers on etsy that were clearly made out of some rough polyester stuff, much too tight and sized wrong.
I've had to spend £££££ sending all this stuff back not to mention tracking back and forth to the post office. Im really sick of it becsuse now I only have two gifts.
Buggered if Im doing this next year.
Does anyone else have these problems or is it just me?

Not me. Etsy is mostly home made tat. Amazon check where it’s shipped from. I’m currently bed bound but anything ordered has been what I expected.
