False Advertising Exposed: Products That Didn't Deliver
5. Cactus Cat Scratcher
Price (Original): $18.99*
Manufactured By: Chewy (Original)
Acquired At: Unknown
One husband shared his purchasing dilemma online, revealing that his wife tends to place internet orders when she is "wine drunk." Among her requests was a cactus cat scratcher. However, instead of the desired item, two bags of rope—one white and the other, possibly cactus green—arrived at their doorstep. To make matters worse, the ropes came without any instructions.
In conclusion, this amusing situation highlights the potential pitfalls of online shopping, particularly when influenced by a few glasses of wine, and serves as a reminder to double-check orders before finalizing them.
The situation became even more perplexing when the package arrived without any wood or packing slip, containing only unmarked sacks of rope. It took a frustrating two months for the package to reach their home. Additionally, there were no responses to inquiries regarding the original Reddit poster's pet ownership. Although the Redditor's wife did not purchase the cactus scratcher from Chewy, the design seemed strikingly similar to one of their products.
In conclusion, this incident underscores the complexities of online shopping and the importance of clarity in product descriptions and order confirmations, especially when dealing with unfamiliar sellers.
