If a seller wants to scam you there is nothing stopping them, I lost £400 to Etsy scammers. I think this is a very hit and miss website (mostly miss in my experience), it all depends which sellers you are dealing with, some were very kind to me while others simply had their shops set up to scam people.

I did buy a variety of things. I bought some nice things but most were overpriced and not what they were worth. A lot of items from a variety of sellers were were misleading, claiming to be what they were not. One tine I bought what I was told were real freshwater pearls but were really just plastic.

Another time I again ordered a rather expensive necklace, I received it in an envelope with no protective packaging, the beads were chipped the pendant smashed, I could not have worn this it was totally restored, I promptly messaged the selling the sellers response was that I must have worn it to go to bed in or maybe I accidentally fell asleep wearing it, she was very angry and rude to me, she was not willing to apologise even when I sent her photos of what I received.

Many things I ordered and was charged for never arrived and I was never refunded.

On these occasions and many more, I was not refunded and Etsy did absolutely nothing to help, I tried so much to get in touch with them but never any reply. I was scammed out of about £400, I will never use again.

Lush is a lovely place! I've bought from the store many, many times and ordered from the website lots too! I've been happy with all my purchases apart from a few disappointing bath bombs which don't seem to do much. Some things are a bit pricey when you don't really get any result from using the products. But others are worth paying for as they last for so long and are excellent quality.

The Gorilla Perfumes at Lush are beautiful, some take a while to grow on you but once you give them a chance you'll be in heaven! They are strong, unique and the majority last for hours and hours, you'll probably wake up the next day smelling just as good!

I've tried all the solid perfumes, 7 atomisers and four Lush Scents from 2013, hair products, moisturisers, bath bombs, showergels, toothy tabs, a bit of everything!

If I've ever been unsatisfied with anything or there has been a fault, I've been refunded or had my products exchanged as soon as possible. And if in the store the staff member forgot to pack an item they're always happy to accept their mistake and give you it back! They often give free gifts as apologies. Which is very kind!

The staff are very friendly, sometimes a bit too friendly and very pushy in the sales but at least they're always happy to help and they're willing to give samples of anything so you can try before you buy, also if you order online and ask for samples you will get a little bag of samples, you can even ask for specific product samples!

Lush is very special, everything smells so good, wonderful for presents or your essentials or treating yourself. There's always something you'll like!

RIDICULOUS SIZING - SEE THROUGH - DON'T USE
This was my first experience and I will NEVER EVER buy from Boohoo again.
I ordered two dresses from Boohoo, I'm always in sizes 6-8 and I ordered both in size 8 - NO way were they both a size 8. One of the dresses being more like a size 4, fitted me as a very tight top once I'd finally managed to get it on, I'm only 5'6 so I couldn't possibly be too tall for it. With both dresses it was hard to get them over my head and stretch my arms out into the sleeves, they were just so small and there was no stretch. The other dress was far far too tight on top, pinching my arms and there was no room at all for my boobs, it looked stupid, the skirt of the dress was baggy and the bottom hems were not sewn so after a few wears it would begin to fray, and the material was COMPLETELY see through, I could clearly see my bra and knickers through it, including the pattern of them and even my belly button! It was not supposed to be see through. It also came with a hole in. Very disappointed with Boohoo.

I had paid for next day delivery as I was so excited for my pretty dresses and it arrived early the next morning but all I got was sadness from opening the parcel. I sent it back and in 8 days I was given confirmation they received it, thankfully I did get my money back, I was really worried I wouldn't because so many other people don't, I feel very lucky. I'm never using Boohoo again, and I'd advise everyone else not to. No wonder this is such a growing company because if all the people they scam.
