There was a time I bought something online which made me almost decide never to buy something from online vendors again, it was the year 2023, and I saw a locket online which I loved and wanted to do.

I messaged some of those who post the status of the clothes and other things they are selling if they can get it done. I did not search for long before one of them said she could do it. Still, she lives in Ibadan, so I felt the distance is far so I turned her down but I disliked stressing someone without patronizing them, so I gave her 2000 Naira, at least she gave me the information I needed about the locket.
After some more minutes search, I finally got referred to someone who stays in Lagos, so we discussed and she said she would collect a certain amount and she promised to finish and deliver the locket within 4 days, I paid her in full immediately so there won't be any delay.
Four days later, which was the day I was supposed to receive the locket, She did not ask for my address so I should not expect anything, I waited till the next day before I messaged her and she gave me a flimsy excuse, and told me to wait 2 more days which I did... On the promised date, she asked for my address and told me she had sent it to the delivery company and I should expect my package anytime soon.

A whole week happened to pass by again without receiving any locket, I was already losing my patience and I messaged her again and she said it was from the delivery company, I got mad and messaged the person who referred her to me, that one apologized and said she would talk to her and she even said she would help me to go and collect it but then for another 1 week I see nothing, I was so mad that I messaged her and threatened her that if I do not see the locket that week, she would see me in her house soon and I do not mind how much it is going to cost me to find her...
She was like it was not her fault, blah blah blah, I just stood on my words and before I knew it, the next day they delivered my package, I was just like must everything end in violence, so If I did not threaten her, she won't know that she ought to do everything possible to make sure my locket get to me, since then I am skeptical about patronizing online vendors, I rather buy my stuff offline so If there is any issue, I can easily go back to the shop and make my complaint and get the problem fixed.
Another one that happened was when I saw a cloth online and loved it... So I paid the vendor so she could deliver the clothes, I was disappointed when I got the clothes and tested them.... the trouser did not even fit me, but the top was nice, I had to dash my babe the trouser cos somehow it fit her.
One time I knew I bought something Online and was pleased with the purchase was when I ordered a white table online, I made a post about it and I am still using the table now.
