A wise online shopper would always double-check the product dimensions before placing an order. While purchasing tights in-store at Kohl’s or Target typically doesn’t require it, doing so when shopping online does. When a customer ordered a pair of tights for his Halloween costume, he learned the hard way.

The paper model that the tights were exhibited on turned out to be the actual size of the item. The buyer’s two big toes were the only places where the tights fit. It seems that there are tights that are just too tight.
Fortunately, AliExpress offers a shopper protection programme that is slightly more beneficial than comparable safeguards offered by websites such as eBay. Still, the website has a dubious reputation, as one Quora user put it.
