'The package sunk overseas': 20+ Online thrifters who didn't get the clothing they expected

It's one thing to get your vintage or thrifted clothes in person, but when you buy them online, you're putting your trust in a random seller. 

People find all kinds of ways to market their clothing to make it look as appealing as possible. However, some people try to hide stains or rips to make the clothing look nicer. I mean sure, it does look a little nicer in the promotional photos, but the buyer is going to be very upset when they get that shirt and realize it has a big oil spot on it.

These people shared their experiences trying to buy clothes online, and it's way harder than it should be! You can check it all out below, from sellers who can't seem to get to the post office, to people who are trying to sell utter garbage. 

Next, read about the person who kicked out their pregnant 19-year-old step-daughter because she banished their elderly cat to the outdoors: "Step-daughter... got what she deserved."

    Not only are the ankles mud-stained, the lace on the shirt is ripped and worn. Perhaps this one isn't worth selling for $45.
