Chinese Garbage
October 11, 2022

I ordered some shirts from LITB and when they arrived they looked nothing like the photos. The pattern was blurry and faded... it looked like someone printed an out of focus iron on with their home printer.

I contacted them to express my dissatisfaction. I was told that I would have to pay for return shipping to CHINA before they would consider refunding my money. Why is it my responsibility to pay to return your garbage. They know this costs the consumer more than the price of the product so this is how they rip you off. Send garbage, then make it impossible to get a refund. I have contacted the BBB... these jerks need to be out of business.

Absolutely
October 10, 2022

Absolutely keep well away from this firm. I have tried and tried to return an order which was unsuitable for me and I have been given a real run around.
This company is very unfair when it comes to trying to return goods for a credit.
According to our customer trade here in NZ we should be able to return goods which are not fit for purpose. They want photos of why, you provide those than it's something else again

This is a gamble if you happy and it works. But I order 2 sizes bigger as I knew the were going to be smaller then they say. Still two sizes to small. Cost of shipping back return is at least half of what you will have pay for you clothing. Future credit is only 10% (taking a second chance is just going to lose you more money. Buy somewhere else's.

Dear customer,

We noted that you are not satisfied with this shopping, we will try our best to provide our service to you and adequately handle this problem.

Please be noted that made-to-order means that all of our dresses, whether a standard or custom size, are tailored just for you once you place your order. This means that we don’t have a factory full of machine made dresses, instead they are all crafted by our highly skilled tailors.We invite you to look on the product page, the ''made to measure'' logo is indicated directly below the 'add-to-cart' button, for your reference please click on the link below: http://litb.cc/l/tpRF

From previous communications, i notice that you said "The dresses are to large and don't fit.". We wonder if you check the size chart before the purchase? If you do so, could you do me a favor to take a photo of measurements? So that i can compare with our size chart. Rest assured that we will take full responsibility.

Waiting for your kind response. You can also reply me in the 27082125.

Sincerely,
Customer Service
