This is why you should always check the dimensions or specifications of items before adding to cart.

Online shopping is a convenience that most people can't do without. However, despite its growing popularity, some shoppers still get duped with their purchases. 

While some might get caught in online scams, others neglect to read the product specifications and descriptions before clicking on the checkout link. It’s one thing if you haven’t spent much, but we can’t help but feel for those who end up losing a significant amount of money.

One guy recently shared his friend's unfortunate experience of buying cheeseboards, a pizza board, and more from Temu.

It was clear from his expression that this wasn’t a positive story.

He explained that his friend bought several cutting boards, which are all the rage for entertaining. But sadly, she didn’t check the dimensions before placing her order and ended up disappointed.

Here's a big pro tip for online shopping: Always read the description and double-check the specifications before hitting checkout. 

The photos can be misleading, and you might not be getting exactly what you think you are.

A Temu spokesperson shared the aftercare customer service policy that reads: "Temu's 24/7 customer service channel allows customers to reach out through the app or website to report their concerns. We offer a 90-day money-back guarantee for quality-related issues and encourage this customer to contact our customer service team so we can investigate her case."

“Temu is committed to providing a seamless shopping experience, which includes a straightforward return process and quality assurance for our customers," said the Temu spokesperson.
