MANY of us rely heavily on online shopping these days - but as this series of unfortunate purchases proves, it's not always that reliable.

From cardboard iPads to seriously dodgy fancy dress outfits, it appears these less-than-satisfied customers have at least managed to see the funny side.

 Imagine ordering a new iPad and it arrives made from cardboard?!

Many items posted by bemused shoppers to social media show buys that look nothing like what they'd ordered.

One unfortunate customer was hoping to receive a sequined pillow - but admitted she should have looked up the measurements when a tiny, palm-sized version arrived.

Another purchased a navy jumpsuit, but what came bore zero resemblance to the picture on the website.

And imagine this shopper's confusion when the £2,000 pair of Kanye West's Yeezy Boost trainers they bought on eBay turned out to be made of cardboard!

Oh Yeezus!

Talk about two left feet!

This must have sent him bananas

The wrong trousers

We bet she had a bone to pick with the suppliers...

There should be a blanket ban on sellers like this

Dress to unimpress

A whole web of trouble

What kind of game were they playing?

Isn't this tie-dye for?

Hope she was feeling chair-itable when this arrived
