Do you ever buy something online and then have it show up only to immediately realize it’s like, way smaller than it looked on the screen?

I’d imagine something like that feeling was going through the head of TikTok user @angekp913:

“How does an 800 dollar dress come shipped like this?”

“POV: You treat yourself to a luxury dress from loveshackfnacy and get it in a ripped garbage bag,” reads the caption.

By the way, why do we have to frame all social media posts as “POV?”

I didn’t do this. I’ve never done this. This is not relatable. Why do we have to pretend I spent too much money on a dress and you didn’t?

By I digress.

$800 dress. Ripped plastic. No box. Do better. The other side is completely ripped. Luckily the dress was okay. @loveshackfancy 💔 #luxuryfail #unboxingfail #loveshackfancy #expectationvsreality

Remember, there’s a big difference between cheap and inexpensive.

There’s just no consistency.

“Luxury” is often synonymous with extra flash that gets you nowhere.

Don’t believe all the hype.

Shop smart, friends.

But don’t expect too much.
