Unpredictability of online shopping

in #shopping17 days ago

Online shopping can be very unpredictable. Most of the times whatever I order online it comes as per what is shown online, but then there are couple of times where it has not been the same. There are always an exchange and a return benefit but the problem is that in all of that a lot of days pass away, and there are lot of back-and-forth actions to take. As such I always prefer to see things and buy, so online shopping is only for those items which I am unable to find in stores.

I wanted covers for my bed head board. Back home in my new home, I had got beds made by carpenter, the beds are made very beautifully, the only problem is that the headboard has a cloth design and the color of the cloth is light color. I had only selected the color, and that time it did not strike me that it can get dirty easily over a period of time. When I rent my villa on airbnb, all types of people come, some are very careless and they do rough use of things. The cloth is still in good condition, but I know that with time it will get dirty, so to protect it I want to put a head board cover. I was not even aware that something like this is available, but I came across it in an ad on Instagram so that moment I felt, it would be nice to buy.

I checked in the stores, but nowhere I could find it, so finally I ordered it online from Temu. I do order things from there sometimes. Last time I had ordered a sofa cover and it is a very nice cover. More than my expectations, so I ordered the headboard covers also. The first time I ordered, the cover was excellent but the size was big, so I returned it and they got it picked up. Then I ordered another one of different type, and what I received I am disappointed because it is not as per the picture shown on the site.

This is what is shown on the site

The problem here is the color of the cloth, which I have received is shaded and what is shown in the picture is one plain blue color. I do not like the shaded color. I raised a return request, which was accepted. But then they mentioned that the amount will be refunded back and I do not need to send the cover back. Now I honestly do not know what to do. I have received the refund money and I have the cover also. It's not making me feel good. The other thing is that I still need a cover so I need to reorder another one. There are many options available on the site, but then what if the other one also I do not like. It is a dilemma for me to reorder it again.
