Beware of the unknown clothing stores that offer flashy fashions.

I've ran across many stores on the internet that offer stunning fashions, and Riszeben was another one of those stores.

I ordered a nice sweater from their online catalog, for about $40.94, but what I received was a thin muscle shirt, worth about $5.00.

I'd written to both addresses that appeared on the site: *******@gmail.com and *******@gmail.com, but the later responded to my issue. This person apologized and offered me a 10% refund, and I could keep the garment sent. After several days of back and forth, the respondent stated i could return the garment for a full refund, but I was responsible for the shipping, $35.35 to China. I was outdone, because I lose anyway you cut it.

This company is obviously a scam and will get you out of your cash. They are no longer online, so they obviously changed their names frequently.

I've indicated the e-mail addresses, but the payment came under Yi Ting Technologies in my billing, so beware.

In my opinion, Thai Cupid is no different from many of the mainstream dating websites like Match, Plenty of Fish, as well as the other "Cupid" sites. They have some real profiles, but many abandoned profiles or even dummy profiles, and push them off as active members.

They often send interests and messages to the basic members, but after you pay and upgrade, it all ceases. The women who were messaging you and liking your pics are now non-responsive, after you've paid and have access to their messages, which are all similar to each other, with great punctuation in the right places. Translation tools don't punctuate for these women, some who can barely speak English, per their admission, but some higher entity can.

I know these are dummy profiles generated from the site, because how can the women send messages and likes, but not view the profile. Yes, there is a listing of who has viewed your profile and it does not match with the sent messages and flirts, because you have to click on the profile to send a message.

The U.S. mainstream dating sites are the same, but they've gotten more creative and taken it a bit further, because they impose fake cell numbers on pics, which we know are inspected before they allow you to post.

I did not have issues with billing, as I had read some others did.

It's all about the green, or whatever color the currency is of who is cashing in.

I've ordered lots of merchandise from Sammy Dress, and the merchandise is as stated on the site. The sizes run small, so order large, at least 2 - 3 sizes more. The prices are excellent and you get what you pay for with the merchandise.

My favorite item on this site are the cuff links! The designs are very different and creative and I pay about one-sixth of what the Department stores charge.

I've gotten some orders in 7 days, Express shipping (7-10 days), and others it has taken over 2 months, China post shipping (10-60 days); however; I'm still missing a tee shirt from August 2015.

I haven't had an issue with being issued a refund, via Pay Pal, on discontinued items. It has taken 24-48 hours for Sammy Dress to reply to problem tickets or questions, which I feel is a fair amount of time, due to the time difference between the U.S. and Asia.

The site is really a wild card to order from. I love the merchandise and the prices, but you just never know when you will receive your order. One order I placed express shipping in November, but only received a partial order. The remainder of the order was shipped a month later, but by China post mail, still waiting on that order and its January 2016. Another order was placed Express and 2 of the 3 items were received in 8 days, but the 3rd item was mailed China post the very next day after the 2 items were shipped. Based on my experience with Sammy Dress, I'm looking at a 2 month wait for this item. I feel the delayed portion should have been shipped Express, seeing that is what I paid for with the entire order. Shipping practices are my MAJOR complaint with Sammy Dress. Another issue i recently experienced was Sammy Dress charging shipping 7 items, but only shipping 5, but failing to issue the proportionate share of the costs charged for the 2 items that were not shipped. The refund for the merchandise was issued, but not the shipping portion of it. I wrote several times, but never got the refund for the difference in shipping costs.

When discounts are offered, the prices are raised, once they hit your cart, so you never really see the discount. I don't mind the prices, but don't make offers that you don't plan to keep, because the prices are so low already!

Sammy Dress has unique items, so I might continue to buy here, but if I did, I would not put an emphasis on speed, because you don't know when the order is in stock and when you will receive it, and I believe the orders are shipped from Singapore, so that is quite a distance for packages to come from.

I am not trying to make excuses for this vendor, because I don't know the "whys" and "hows" of how they run their business, but only to give an honest, unbiased account of my experiences with them.

People on Amazon are selling Sammy Dress items for 2-4 times the price, so you pay much more for speedy, more reliable service, but the same merchandise.

In summary, you really get what you pay for, so roll the dice, or not.
