Well, the description often doesn’t entirely include the dimensions but you can figure it out on the “shipment details”
An personal anecdote. I was looking through Amazon for some sculptures and there were many mythic figurines. While most ads showed the figurines in context(next to a book, desk lamp, smartphone etc), some simply included 3D photos of the figurine on neutral background and priced very high.
I saw one particular figurine priced at € 89.99/- with lots of good reviews(also photographs in neutral background with nothing else for context from “verified customer”) and detail quality and assumed that it has to be big, that is a lot of money as other ones with pictures in context were much lower or 2/3rd of that price.
The description was all about history, build material and beauty of the producr. So I happily order it without much thought.
In few days, a tiny children’s thumb sized figurine arrives in my mailbox. When I got in contact with the vendor, they cited that the dimensions are clearly on the shipment details and they refused to process a return unless it is a defect product. While I could have contacted Amazon directly, I decided to keep the figurine anyways on my desk as a reminder to myself about being careful when shopping online. These days, if I see something on neutral background with evasive details, I just avoid the product entirely.
(For those curious, the same figurine is available on AliExpress and Temu in price range of €5-€12)
