Good products, high shipping.
January 22, 2023

I have made several orders and never had issues. I made a big order and shipping cost was extremely high, so they offered me to get gold membership free of charge. However, they never followed through. I never received the shipping free of charge or the gold membership or anything.

Ladies Parka coat
January 21, 2023

Size was perfect. Unfortunately there is one seam I need to sew about 4" long in the interior. Not worth it to replace due to time it took me to recieve it. Other than that, it was a gift and she loves it, especially the furry hood!

I ordered 2 dresses for a wedding. They came too late for the wedding. I did not see the fine print on the dresses that says "Made to Order" which is ridiculous because I just ordered a standard size. This means they cannot be returned. I tried them on and the one is a ridiculous combination of sizes. The top is big and the hips are tiny. The other dress was supposed to be a 16 and is about a 12. Both have this weird built in bra thickness a the top. I did not get what I ordered and the company has no way to communicate with them. I was stolen from.

Unhappy
January 21, 2023

What I ordered doesn't even fit, so so disappointed and very unhappy. I wear a 1 or 2 X so I ordered a 4 X to be on the safe side but doesn't fit. Way too tight.

$#*!ty and poor quality of product
January 20, 2023

Buyer Beware: Do not buy from this fraud company.

This company sales are based on wrong description of product while delivering a poor-quality product and refusing return and refund.
I received a coat that has an extremely poor-quality rough fabric which cannot be even considered denim neither cannot be used as a cleaning cloth.
The company has refused return or refund and has offered 50% off on the next purchase of poor quality from this company.

They are asking to prove poor quality fabric through pictures which cannot be proved.

DO not waste your money on this fraudulent company.

The positive reviews included here the ones LIGHT IN THE $#*!Y BOX has posted themselves. Do not get fooled.

Top size charts not accurate
January 20, 2023

I chose items by the size chart and they were still much too small. Returns are more difficult and costly than is worth it. Will not likely be ordering again.

STILL WAITING
January 20, 2023

Ordered some t-shirts from this company over a month ago and still no sign of my order. When ordered and paid for the items were shown to be in stock and one in fact said 'ships with-in 24 hrs' been a long 24 hrs. They have my order, they have my money and I so far only have this review. The bright side is that I used PayPal. So I'll give it till next week and then get the $$$ back via PayPal. However since the latest estimated date for arrival was 10-Jan-2023.? I won't be holding out must hope.
