While the increasing trend of Internet purchases continues to threaten traditional stores, new research has found that more than five million Australians have experienced an 'online shopping fail'. And the inconvenience of return processes, which are often costly, have resulted in over $460 million in unwanted purchases over the years. In response to these alarming figures, PayPal Australia has launched a new service for customers to refund up to $45 of return shipping costs for their online purchases. Daily Mail Australia has gathered a series of images of incorrect packages, which have been posted on social media by disappointed customers. Recent research has found that more than five million Australians have experienced an online shopping fail. This shopper was disappointed to find that her entire body could fit into one of side in her newly purchased shorts. Difficult and costly returns processes have resulted in over $460 million in unwanted purchases. Another customer was delivered an excessive supply of butter. This shopper was disappointed to see her liquid foundation had leaked all over the packaging when it was delivered to her. PayPal Australia announced the launch of their free shipping return service on Thursday, allowing customers to request a refund on shipping costs of up to $45 on the PayPal website within 14 days. Joint research by Ipsos and PayPal, conducted in the past 12 months on 1001 respondents, found that more than half of those who had considered returning an unwanted item had failed to do so mainly due to shipping costs. Other factors also included unnecessary hassle  or complicated returns processes. The research on Australians aged 18-64 also revealed that nine in 10 respondents said that they would more likely shop online if the retailer had a free returns policy. A shopper poses with her 'floor length door mirror' she bought online. Two wrong sizes of a pair of shoes was packaged and delivered to this customer. The wrong colour dress is delivered to this online shopper. 'This is not the BLACK dress I ordered,' she wrote. This comes as pictures emerged of a Chinese shopper who suffered an online shopping fail with an ill-fitting cut-out dress that wasn't quite the glamorous gown she thought she was buying. The black dress, a copy of one worn by Thor actress Jaime Alexander at the film's premiere in 2013, features top-to-bottom see-through panels on the front and back. However the unsatisfied shopper posted comparison pictures on the seller's page, showing how the dress revealed far more than she intended. And this isn't the first time though that disgruntled online shoppers have been let down. Earlier this year, many women took to the Internet to lament the fact that the dresses they had ordered looked nothing like the pictures they had been shown. Most of those duped were brides looking for an alternative to buying their wedding dress from an expensive bridal store.

Samtidigt som den ökande trenden med Internetköp fortsätter att hota traditionella butiker, har ny forskning visat att mer än fem miljoner australier har upplevt en "online shopping misslyckas". Och besväret med returprocesser, som ofta är kostsamma, har resulterat i över 460 miljoner dollar i oönskade inköp under årens lopp. Som svar på dessa alarmerande siffror, PayPal Australien har lanserat en ny tjänst för kunder att återbetala upp till $ 45 av retur fraktkostnader för sina online-köp. Daily Mail Australia har samlat en rad bilder av felaktiga paket, som har postats på sociala medier av besvikna kunder. Nyligen forskning har funnit att mer än fem miljoner australiensare har upplevt en online shopping misslyckas. Denne shopper var besviken över att finna, att hela hennes kropp kunde få plats i ena sidan i hennes nyinköpta shorts. Svåra och kostsamma avkastningsprocesser har resulterat i över 460 miljoner dollar i oönskade inköp. En annan kund levererades en alltför stor tillgång på smör. Den här handlaren blev besviken över att hennes flytande foundation hade läckt ut över hela förpackningen när den levererades till henne. PayPal Australien meddelade lanseringen av sin gratis frakt returtjänst på torsdag, så att kunderna kan begära en återbetalning på fraktkostnader på upp till $45 på PayPals webbplats inom 14 dagar. Gemensam forskning av Ipsos och PayPal, som utförts under de senaste 12 månaderna på 1001 respondenter, fann att mer än hälften av dem som hade övervägt att returnera en oönskad vara hade misslyckats med att göra detta främst på grund av fraktkostnader. Andra faktorer var också onödigt krångel eller komplicerade returprocesser. Forskningen om australiensare i åldrarna 18-64 avslöjade också att nio av 10 respondenter sade att de skulle troligare handla på nätet om återförsäljaren hade en policy för fri avkastning. En shoppare poserar med sin 'golvlängdsdörrspegel' som hon köpt online. Två fel storlekar av ett par skor paketerades och levererades till denna kund. Fel färg klänning levereras till denna online-shopper. 'Det här är inte den svarta klänningen jag beställde', skrev hon. Detta kommer som bilder framkom av en kinesisk shoppare som drabbades av en online shopping misslyckas med en illa tillpassad utskurna klänning som inte var riktigt den glamorösa klänning hon trodde att hon köpte. Den svarta klänningen, en kopia av en som bars av Thor-skådespelerskan Jaime Alexander vid filmens premiär 2013, har topp-till-botten genomskinliga paneler på fram- och baksida. Men den missnöjde shoppern lade ut jämförelsebilder på säljarens sida, som visade hur klänningen avslöjade långt mer än hon tänkt sig. Och det är inte första gången som missnöjda näthandlare har svikits. Tidigare i år tog många kvinnor med sig till Internet för att beklaga att klänningarna de hade beställt inte liknade de bilder de hade visats. De flesta av dem som var duperade var brudar som letade efter ett alternativ till att köpa sin bröllopsklänning från en dyr brudaffär.
