There was a case where someone ordered a dress for an important event. The dress that arrived was a completely different color and size from what was shown on the website. The fabric was also of very poor quality. When the buyer tried to return it, the seller made it very difficult by asking for a lot of unnecessary documentation and trying to charge a high restocking fee.
One horror story involves a customer who ordered some electronics components. The components were supposed to be new, but when they arrived, they were clearly used and some were even broken. The seller was unresponsive to the customer's complaints, and Aliexpress's initial attempts to resolve the issue were not very helpful. It took a long time and a lot of effort on the customer's part to finally get some sort of compensation.
I once ordered a so - called 'high - quality' phone case from Aliexpress. When it arrived, it smelled horribly of chemicals. And the printing on it was already peeling off. It was nothing like the pictures shown on the website.
Take the example of a beauty brand on Aliexpress. They started with a simple idea of selling natural skincare products. They did extensive research on what customers were looking for in beauty products. They found that many customers were interested in products free from harsh chemicals. So, they developed a line of all - natural face creams, serums, and masks. They worked hard on their packaging, making it both attractive and eco - friendly. On Aliexpress, they offered samples to customers, which increased their customer base. They also participated in Aliexpress' promotional events. Through these efforts, they became a successful beauty brand on Aliexpress, with customers all around the world loving their products.
Sure. There was a person who took Ambien and woke up to find that they had written strange and disturbing messages all over their walls. They had no memory of doing it at all. It was really creepy as it was like some unknown force had taken over them while they were under the influence of the drug.
Sure. There was a Pegasister who attended a Pegasus - themed convention. She was really excited to meet other fans and see all the cool stuff. But she accidentally bumped into a very rude group of so - called 'hardcore' Pegasisters. They started yelling at her and making her feel like she didn't belong there just because she was new to the fandom and didn't know all the 'inside' rules. It was a horrible experience for her.
A man was an alcoholic and got into a bar fight one night while heavily drunk. He seriously injured another person. As a result, he was arrested and sent to jail. In jail, he went through withdrawal symptoms without proper medical help, which was extremely painful. His life took a turn for the worse, and when he got out, he had a criminal record that made it difficult for him to find a job and reintegrate into society.
Sure. There was a situation where a community was trying to get a local park renovated. The government department in charge kept delaying the project for years. Every time the community representatives asked for an update, they were given vague excuses. Eventually, the park remained in a state of disrepair, and the funds that were supposed to be used for the renovation seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
One specific 'bronies horror story' could be about a brony who was overly obsessed with a particular My Little Pony character. He started to believe that the character was real and would send disturbing letters to the show's creators, asking them to make the character come to life in a very inappropriate and obsessive way.
A friend of mine had a Postmate horror story. He ordered some expensive electronics. When the package arrived, it was clear that the Postmate had opened it. Some parts were missing. My friend was furious. He had to go through a long process with Postmate's customer service to try to get compensation for the missing items. It was a real hassle and he lost trust in the service.
Sure. I once bought a really expensive silk shirt for a job interview. I was feeling great in it until I sat down on a bench at the bus stop. There was some wet paint there that I didn't notice. When I stood up, the back of my shirt was covered in bright blue paint. I had no time to go home and change, so I had to go to the interview looking like a mess. Needless to say, I didn't get the job.
There is a story from a small village. Every few years, when the cicadas came out, strange things seemed to happen. People reported hearing voices within the cicada's chorus. One old man said that the cicadas were a sign of impending doom. One year, during a particularly bad cicada emergence, a barn burned down. People blamed it on the 'curse' of the cicadas, which spread fear throughout the village.
