I heard about this website through some Youtubers, obviously, they have been paid. This website is a scam, worst customer service ever! Now I can only pray to get my money back through Paypal. WORST!

I returned an item because they sent me the wrong size. I never received a return of my money. Paypal did not help either. Maybe I can go to my bank and talk to them, I don't know. It was connected to my checking account. This is a terrible company!

Had an awesome experience with these people. Thought I should write a review as people tend to just come here when they have complaints. I expected the order to take some time to get to me but it wasn't too long at all. The prices are excellent for the product you get (not super high quality materials but well put together, no weird stitching and they last). Communication was great - the messaged me to make sure I received my order. Will definitely be buying again!

Do not waste your time or money ordering from this company. I had to return three out of the four tops I had purchased due to them all being too short. Not only are they not refunding me for the three tops I returned; they are only refunding me for one, which happens to be the one I kept. I have been told by customer service that they haven't received the other tops, which is odd, as they were all returned in the same package.

Order one size up!
July 16, 2017

I am a 5'0 and about 117 lbs, pretty athletic build from competing in bodybuilding bikini competitions and continue to lift to maintain my muscle and shape. I have breast implants (pretty average natural size) and ordered a small of the tye-dye body suit. I ALWAYS wear a small in everything, but this bodysuit could have been a medium to cover my breasts a bit more. Had a little too much side boob! Otherwise, quality was as expected, probably a step down from Forever 21, honestly. The other shirt I also ordered a small, off the shoulder black body suit and it was a bit snug. My advice is to order a medium, get the extra fabric to cover the lady parts. The worst part is, I can't return either item, and I am really unhappy because they don't fit as I assumed they would!

Hi Tiffany,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, we are sorry to hear about your experience.
The sizes on our site are not standard US or UK sizes, thus we have measurements on the each product page for your reference when purchasing, hoping to make it easier for you next time.
And since we do not accept the return of the bodysuit, how about you keep these two items and we refund half of cost to you for compensation?

Waiting for your reply!

I had placed an order just at 1 month ago, 6 more days makes a month. And have yet to see any information on the item. I have emailed them twice and are telling me it is shipped and gives me a tracking number. The tracking number only tells me it is waiting to be shipped. Now when I go to try and long into my account they are telling me they have no record of me. Take your money else wear.

I never received my refund money back. They kept saying that please check your "wallet", and I did but all I see was " zero balance". They made all kinds of excuses not to refund your money. On one occasion, they said they never received our returned items or another time, they apologized us to be patient and again they said to check your wallet but there is no money at all.
All they are doing is, keep replying our email. Very dishonest people. Don't ORDER.

Return system
July 13, 2017

Trying to open a ticket to returns items but site wont let me also trying online chat but also this isn't possible, Have contacted them through email, no response, no surprise there. Awful customer service but I suppose this is how they make it impossible for you to return anything. Have never came across a worse return system in my life.

Hi,
The checking result has not come out yet, how about we refund you 60 percent of your order first?
Once we have figured it out, we will inform you the result without delay.
What's your idea?

I ordered for quite a huge amount and the customer service asked for verification of my payment details which is fine as the bank account and the delivery adress is on a different name. After verification they deducted the amount again! Since than (almost a week) I am trying to get the money back, but have to deal with a representative of the customer service who constantly replies in German even if I raised my ticket in English (with such a German as if she was using Google Translate) and simply replies unrelevant details like I should wait for delivery for the money to be transferred back instead of taking care of the payment.
Honestly, this is quite simple: payment deducted twice, transfer back the second one!

Not my favorite
July 9, 2017

My items took over 2 weeks to arrive at my house, even with expedited shipping. I was able to contact a customer service rep and ship half of the items, but the other half took over a month to arrive. The sizing and fabric was terrible, plus half the items didn't fit me even thought I meticulously took at matched all of my measurements. There were many loose strings on my clothing and I was very disappointed in my purchase. Do NOT be fooled by the trendy pictures, because I guarantee that a cotton blend adult medium dress will not come as it seems.

Hi Eva,

Thank you for ordering from our website, we are so sorry for letting you down.
Normally, it takes us 3-7 business days to process the order and another 4-7 business days for expedited shipping.
Because the item (RDRE170515205) is one of our best sales products, it takes more time for processing, we are so sorry for keeping you waiting.
We know that our measurement is not good enough and still might cause trouble to our customers, but we’re doing everything we can to work on that, we would also check with our suppliers to keep this from happening to other customers, your help would be much appreciated.
Please confirm with us which items did not fit, we will certainly help you return and refund.
