'Now they’re asking me to pay even more': Seller insists a customer "support" them with extra shipping money

One shopper is confused and suspicious after an odd encounter with the person who sold them a gift. 

It seems like ordering online has become such a gamble. Even if you're ordering from a site that is known to be reputable and sell handmade items, you might find you're actually ordering from some random person overseas. Some people will order a blanket or some clothing from another country, only to find that it get stuck at a border somewhere for months. 

This is especially irritating if you're trying to buy a gift. If your little cousin's birthday is next month, and your product doesn't even get a shipping label printed for weeks, you start to get that sinking feeling. You realize, "Maybe this item isn't ever going to get to me." 

A shopper who goes by u/AphraHome wrote about their own mildly infuriating experience while shopping online. Despite completing the purchase for a gift from Vietnam, the seller had some post-purchase instructions for them. 

Check out the shopper's post from an email the seller sent them. Then, this server found the perfect moment to quit their job— just after losing out on a $700+ tip.
