Shopping online is convenient but not being able to check items in store means you'll want to return something every now and again if it doesn’t fit.
While it's a pain for most of us, one woman shared the lengths she has to go to if she buys something she doesn't like.
Lydia Eakin revealed in a viral TikTok video that she lives on a remote Irish island, so she has to catch a flight just to send her ASOS parcels back.

In her viral TikTo video, @lydiaeakin shared her journey, which included her flight over the sea and has the clip has amassed over 1.4 million views.
Lydia Eakin lives on one of the three Aran Islands, County Galway, which means she has to book an eight-minute flight to the mainland.
In her TikTok bio she says she is a "knitwear design student living and interning on the Aran Islands, Ireland".
In the video, Lydia can be seen embarking on the journey to return her package by cycling down country lanes near where she lives.
She captioned the video, "when you have to do an ASOS return but you live on an island".
She then explained there were "multiple planes for the three islands, and goes three times a day to each".
She humorously captioned the video as "just a wee day trip".
The Aran Islands are an all-Irish speaking community and work to maintain traditional Irish heritage and culture, including making Aran Jumpers on Inis Meáin.
People flocked to Lydia’s comment section where they were baffled by the lengths she had to go to, and one said: “I can’t even return stuff on time when the post office is a block away.”
A second wrote: “This is so funny for no reason pls, slay though, you did that.”
Lydia revealed to one of her followers that a student islander return fare costs €36 including a bus.
She said: “So a student islander return fare which I get is €36 (including bus) and I think visitor rates are double!!! so pricey enough! I usually take the boat.”
