A WOMAN was left in hysterics when the “ornament” she bought on Temu arrived – and it wasn't quite what she was expecting.
Maisie-Ellen was delighted when she spotted what appeared to be a colourful elephant, which she said would look perfect in her bright and cheerful .
So she hit buy, and eagerly awaited its arrival.
But when her order arrived, she couldn't believe what she found upon opening the box.
In a TikTok video, she showed the picture of the elephant, as she said she wanted a “multicoloured elephant to match my multicoloured front room”.
She then held up what had in the order – a wooden cut out of said elephant.
“No seriously, that is my elephant!” Maisie-Ellen sighed.
“It's flat, it's not even 3D!
“Well it is 3D kind of but that's not a statue!”
Things went from bad to worse as she pulled out that she'd ordered, also to go in the lounge.
“It looks all thick and nice and colorful and pretty and whatever else,” she said.
But when she put it on her floor, she realised it was as thin as a “sheet of paper”.
“It's the thinnest, flimsiest, crappiest…” she laughed.
Maisie-Ellen said another issue was that the rug didn't have any green it it.
“The listing that I bought had like loads of green in it because obviously the living room is green!” she said.
“Where's the green?”
She'd also ordered inserts for some sofa cushions, which were paper thin, and concluded by showing the colourful pampas grass she'd picked up from the site as well.
“It looked f**king sick on the pictures,” Maisie-Ellen said.
“It really did.
“It looked silly nice on the pictures.
“I don't know how it looks in here!”
“That elephant was diabolical,” one person in the comments laughed.
“My nan ordered a lamp and got a metal picture of a LAMP,” another said.
“I made something like that elephant in Design and technology in 2003 in y7,” a third giggled.
“It's Temu so things aren't ever perfect,” someone else wrote.
