"I live on remote Irish island and get flights to do ASOS return - people are baffled"

Buying items online means you'll inevitably want to return something every now and again. While it's a pain for most of us, one woman has shared the lengths she has to go to if she buys something she doesn't like.

She lives on a remote Irish island where there is no Post Office, so she has to catch a flight just to send her ASOS parcels back. In her now viral TikTok, @lydiaeakin shared her journey, which included her flight over the sea.

Lydia lives on one of the three Aran Islands, County Galway, which means she has to book an eight-minute flight to Ireland's mainland. During her Tiktok, Lydia is seen 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 was "multiple planes for the three islands, and goes three times a day to each". She jokingly captioned the video as "just a wee day trip".

Lots of her followers replied to the video, one person said: "I would just keep the item." Another wrote: "I can’t even return stuff on time when the post office is a block away."

Someone else said: "This is my sign to return my ASOS package."

A few fans did point out the environmental impact of her trips. One wrote: "And I’m meant to save the planet by drinking from a paper straw."
