Kmart delivery blunder leaves shoppers furious: 'Isn't even funny'

Kmart has come under fire after an online delivery box went viral.

There’s nothing worse than eagerly awaiting your online order, only for it to be a complete letdown when it finally arrives. And that’s what happened to one woman, who decided to pick up a few items from Kmart on their website.

The woman posted the evidence of what she was delivered to the Facebook group Kmart Hacks & Decor, revealing one item in particular which was crammed into the box, leaving it totally unusable.

“Ordered a hula hoop for my children at work and this is how it arrived. Maybe the poor packing person was having a hard day,” the woman captioned

The box shows a few packets of ribbon, some suspension files, a packet of stacking stones and one very twisted $5 hula hoop.

Needless to say, commenters were unimpressed with the delivery fail, with one person saying: “Omg you wonder who does this”.

“Wow”, another person commented, while a Facebook group member simply commented saying: “Work experience kid”.

“I can't figure out the packer's mentality. This isn't even funny, tbh,” another said, while another person wrote: “Holy s**t, I’ve never laughed so hard at a parcel”.

Others tried to help the woman out by suggesting some solutions to the problem.

“Heat it up with ya hair dryer and try reshape it, something fun for Saturday nights science class,” a helpful group member said.

However, it wasn’t meant to be, with the original poster commenting: “Unfortunately I was not able to bend it back into shape - wasn’t even remotely round.”

One woman posted photos from her own Kmart delivery fail, saying the exact same thing happened to her a few years ago.

If people were wondering how it should be packed, one woman said she ordered a hula hoop from Big W and it came in a flat pack box.

A Kmart spokesperson told 7Life: “At Kmart, we want everyone visiting us in-store or online to have an enjoyable shopping experience and we are disappointed to learn that on this occasion it did not occur.
