People Who Should’ve Said No To Their Online Shopping Addiction

The ability to shop online has made our lives easier in many ways, but that doesn't mean the system is perfect. When ordering online, you always take the risk that your package will get lost along the way, or it won't show up by the time you need it, or maybe the product you ordered isn't even the product that shows up at your door.

Always make sure you double-check the description of whatever you're ordering and that you trust the company, or you'll end up with a prom dress that looks like it was made by a toddler.

That's A Wrap

If you're going to send a photo to a bakery of the kind of cake you want made, it never hurts to verbally explain it, too, or you end up with a toilet seat cake instead of cupcakes.
