Bizarre Online Purchases

Bizarre Online Purchases

Like all fulfillment companies, it’s our job to make sure ecommerce orders reach customers’ doorsteps. In the world of online retail, orders could include almost anything.

Here’s a great infographic to explore the bizarre world of online shopping – from jet airplanes and moon real estate to half-eaten grilled cheese sandwiches and celebrity hair trimmings. These are some of the wackiest, most ridiculous, most expensive, orders ever placed online. We’re just glad these folks didn’t use Fifth Gear’s fulfillment services.

Oh, and just for good measure, we splashed in some useful information about the constantly evolving ecommerce scene. For example, what percentage of 31-44 year olds still doesn’t use the World Wide Web for shopping? Or, what percentage of internet shoppers who used their smart phones to find holiday gifts in 2010 actually completed their purchases on a mobile device? Don’t know? Find the answers below.

One thing’s for sure: no matter what the product, order fulfillment services make sure you get what you bought.
