Terrible Quality
March 6, 2023

I finally received my order and not only the quality was terrible but the sizes are not true at all. I normally wear a 2XL so I ordered a 3XL to be safe. Well, the track suite that came barely fit my son who is a large at best.
Very disappointed!

Ordered 2 dresses both were made of very poor quality material so decided to return for a refund. After several emails from them trying to offer me vouchers instead of a refund I confirmed I wanted to return them only to be advised that I would have to pay for a non refundable tracked postage to either China or Asia. Total rip off company selling poorly made goods with no customer service.

Sizes
March 1, 2023

Your product does not meet the sizes you mention, while an XXL shirt is very large, others of the same size are the exact size and they do not mention how to change them... it is very complicated.

Not the best
March 1, 2023

Possibly ordering too many items at once is not the best way to order. The order was split, one item that arrived was nothing like I ordered. Another item was way too small, more size for a child but the picture showed adult. The other three items, out of nine, were excellent. I am STILL waiting for the rest of the order to arrive; four more items.
I am not convinced that ordering through this platform is beneficial, more of a gamble.

So be very wary of their product descriptions, as they are incomplete and inadequate. Then when the product needs to be returned for any reason, you have to pay to ship it to China. I would strongly advise you not to get sucked in by the cheap prices, in the end it's not worth it!

Bon produits à bon prix
February 28, 2023

Il y a énormément de choix! Ils ont beaucoup d'articles que les autres n'ont pas. Je trouve qu'il est facile de naviguer et de trouver les éléments. Les prix sont justes et les rabais sont très intéressants. Le service à la clientèle est très courtois. Je vais commander à nouveau!

Ok experience. I wish there was a better system for when you have to return items that do not fit. Getting only a portion of what you paid just does not seem fair.

Great dress quality
February 28, 2023

Ordered a gown dress for my daughter's birthday. It's the most amazing outfit and daughter is excited to wear for the birthday! The dress was a little long for her and I had to fold it slightly to make sure she doesnt trip on the stairs, but otherwise a great fit. Quality is excellent.

Satisfaction
February 28, 2023

I purchased a Tuxedo and couldn't return it cause of the 7 day return policy after receiving it. I was on vacation when package came and missed out on the deadline. They gave me a choose of a 60 % of next purchase or 50% cash back and keep product. I choose B option and now am ordering another tuxudo the next size up as I Iove the tuxedo I received. I recommend this site to anyone as they nice to order from.
