I bought a couple of items and used the size chart to base the correct size to order. Nothing fit! You have to enter your return for a ticket, of which there is no label for your return. All returns must be shipped to their warehouse in Asia which cost $30-$80 via ground. The shipping cost more than the items themself. Then, there is an offer for a 50% coupon of your shipping to purchase another item. All return requests must be authorized by their customer service team before shipping to the return address. They send you an email, of which you must reply within 24hrs or they close your ticket and you have to start all over again. Definintely not worth the hassle. Stay away from ordering their products.

Items look nothing like the descriptions or photos. Quality of products are cheap. Fabric very thin/cheap. Times are hard now for consumers and this company is misleading consumers to make money. STAY AWAY! Purchase from more reliable businesses.

The product I am not satisfied with came broken. Suspecting it was sent as a defective product because we didn't find proof of broken pieces in the package. At first I was furious about it and wanted to give 2 stars, however customer service saved it. And the rest of the products in the order was quite all right, especially the sweater and the tapestry with Halloween theme was surprisingly good. Shipment speed was fast and arrived early, which made me happy. To be fair, I will give 4 stars. Hope this site will improve and ensure that something similar won't happen in the future.
