Online shopping oddity

As I have mentioned in my previous posts, online shopping is a boon to senior citizens like me although direct shopping is relatively advantageous.

I had an unpleasant experience when  shopping for the following three items a few days back:

The nutrition drink pack didn't contain the expiry date anywhere. Barfi had neither the aroma nor the taste of Horlicks. The floor mat didn't absorb any water and it's bottom surface was very smooth and skiddy.

I regret that I wasted my money on buying these three items.

I think that manufacturers of items such as these should be barred from using online platforms. Our Government should intervene to fix such issues.
