One pair of shoes, didn't fit, open the bag and an overwhelming stink of chemicals. Tried to return. They require you to pay shipping back to China, three times the cost of the item. Anyone want some cheap, crappy shoes?

BUYER BEWARE
October 8, 2021

I purchased an outfit for my daughters wedding. The product arrived and I was devastated. The pants were three sizes too big and the top was two sizes too small. I performed the measurements and followed all procedures to return and the only response were emails saying this was custom made and could not be returned. I did not send measurements but ordered a size they had available so this was not custom made. They are misleading, very hard to deal with and led me to believe that my item could be returned. I contacted them immediately with my issues. The quality was also very poor. The outfit was very expensive and I am so sorry I did not read reviews on this company before I purchased. I will never purchase anything from this company again. BUYER BEWARE! IF I COULD CHECK 0 STARS I Would.

Hello Angie,

Thank you for writing a review on our page.

I am sorry to read about this shopping experience. We do try to offer good value to our customers. We have been selling these handmade outfit for over 12 years, with a high rate of satisfied customers. I am very sorry that this wasn't the case for your order.

I saw that my colleague was trying to help you resolve this, but the case wasn't moving in the right direction. In the ticket, you've mentioned that the size didn't match and that the quality wasn't as expected. Photos as evidence could have helped you to make a case, as these outfits are handmade and consequently have to pass rigorous quality controls. Unfortunately it wasn't possible to confirm neither size nor quality problems based on the photos you've provided.

We have sent you an email (ticket #24519172) with further details. Should you have any questions or doubts, then we'd like to hear from you.

Happy to be at your service!

After looking into this. I've found that you've made 2 accounts on our website. It is unclear how you've tried to contact us, from the website you should be able to contact our customer service.

What I received was NOTHING like the picture
October 7, 2021

As I should have expected, the shirt looks nothing like the picture. There is nothing distressed about the shirt that I received except that it has raw edges for seams. The coloring is not distressed at all. People writing good reviews about this shirt should be ashamed of themselves. And I have tried multiple times to attach an image on the website where I left this same review to show how awful it is and it just keeps saying access denied. I can see why they wouldnt wantme to be able to attach an image to show this. The picture very much looks like a cotton type material. When I received the shirt it feels very polyester. Though the tag says 95% cotton and 5% polyester it does not feel like that at all. It really should be illegal to advertise pictures of items and deliver something that is in no way resembling that item.

Hello Donna,

Thank you for having reviewed your purchase. We regret this wasn't a positive experience and will try my best to turn this complaint around.

Personally, I can understand your dissatisfaction, disappointment after seeing the photos you've posted in the review. It is absolutely not acceptable if the supplier send you this shirt, the sourcing manager assured that we will not let this incident pass unscrutinized. Don't worry, we recognize this mistake, and we'll immediately process your refund. The shirt doesn't need to be returned.

I like to add that we encourage all customers to contact our customer service through the website. We have a dedicated aftersales service, and you would've found no difficulties obtaining a refund. It will also help us by taking measures against certain suppliers.

We invite you to check your mailbox (ticket #24513587) for more details concerning your refund. Please don't hesitate to reply if you have any questions or doubts.

It will be our pleasure to help you!

Hello,

Thank you for having reviewed our website.

We firmly believe returning an item should be easy and straightforward. I saw that you've contacted us back in August and requested a return based on the dress being too big. Your request was accepted and multiple option were presented. I am sorry that we didn't hear you anymore. I am also afraid there could have been a misunderstanding. Can you please describe which aspects of the quality that were very bad? This will allow me to make a claim against the supplier and seek full reimbursement.

We have sent you an email (ticket #24513535) to help you resolve this problem. I stand by that we can help you obtain a refund without too much effort!

No volveré a comprar.
October 6, 2021

Estoy mirando para devolver un producto y resulta que LO TENGO QUE MANDAR A CHINA! Me sale más caro el envío que la prenda en sí.
Esto no me lo esperaba.

Buenos dias Eva,

Gracias por dejar un comentario en nuestra página.

Lamento que no estés contento con las prendas. En caso de que sea necesario devolver los artículos, el paquete deberá devolverse al proveedor ubicado en China. Después de investigar, descubrí que los gastos de envío para los clientes españoles son bastante razonables. Debería poder enviar un paquete que pese menos de 2 kg, por la modesta cantidad de 14,24 EUR. Puede encontrar más información en el enlace siguiente:
https://www.correos.es/es/en/individuals/send/send-abroad/parcels-abroad/paq-light-internacional

Por favor revise su buzón, encontrará un correo electrónico (boleto # 24508193) con las instrucciones de devolución. No dude en responder si tiene alguna pregunta o necesita más ayuda con el proceso de devolución.

¡Siempre es un placer ayudarte!

I love my wig, the hair is shinny but not a lot. And is long. You need to use something that helps you to hold it because you can know is a wig
