Dublin woman fumes after online Christmas wreath purchase goes very wrong

A Dublin woman was left fuming after an online shopping purchase of some festive decorations ended in disaster.

Ailish Jolleya posted a video of the ordeal on Facebook and has caused quite a stir online.

In the video she explains that she purchased a "lovely wreath" on Facebook in the lead up to Christmas.

The festive decoration was being sold through a Facebook Page and Ailish explained that it looked "massive" in the pictures.

Unfortunately for Ailish when the wreath arrived she didn't know whether to laugh or scream.

Describing the decoration as a "whoopie cushion" it looked nothing like what was shown in the pictures.

Her reaction in the video is brilliant as she slams the balloon like wreath on her leg exclaiming that she was really looking forward to the delivery.

Speaking to the Irish Mirror she said: "I popped a post up on Facebook last night regarding a wreath I bought on Facebook.

"It was €33 for the wreath but I got a cushion. Honestly it looks like a whoopie cushion."

Ailish was so shocked with her new delivery that she has vowed to never buy anything off of Facebook again.

She said she has already contacted PayPal and the website she used to try and get her money back.
