Just bought a second one!
April 30, 2021

Usually when I purchase a watch I most often change the the strap, however in this case I changed the dial to a vintage look from the 1940s that I made, albeit I did jazz up the colors a bit.
I chose the Yazole for its workmanship and very reasonable price and in this case have not changed the strap as it seems to be good quality.

I do hope no one is offended by my customizing.
Again I would like to thank LITB for speedy delivery to Canada.

Very disappointed
April 30, 2021

I ordered surprize box from the site which it shows several options and they all had makeup in it.
I also paid extra for fast delivery.
I received a small pack Not a box like they promised with thin brushes.
It is misleading that what you see is not what you get.
I am very dissatisfied and disappointed with this order, say the least unhappy.

After recently purchasing a cycling top it arrived and was obviously the wrong size. It was ordered using the size guide on their website and it is clear that this is based on the Chinese average and not the UK. Even using the measurements given it was too small. The company then makes it very difficult for you to return the item. Firstly there is no address given for the return. You have to specifically request it and the email from the company then states it would be better if you just kept the item or gave it to a relative, given the cost of return often amounts to half of the item. This is not made clear when you purchase anything
I would advise anyone to avoid this company at all costs

Hi Gary,

Thank you for having reviewed our website. We regret that you've found it difficult to return your item. Items can be returned back for any reason. I would like to help you, but unfortunately the reference you've provided (QHXIP0422001935YQ) cannot be found in our database. Can you please share your order number?

You should be able to send back a parcel from the UK to China for the amount of 9.50 GBP. Please ask your post office for the cheapest available shipping method. The list with Royal mail their tariffs can be found on the link below:
https://send.royalmail.com/send/youritem?country=CHN&weight=1000&weightUnit=G

I also like to add that sizing issues can be easily prevented. As our sizes could run small compared to UK sizing, we include a detailed size chart on the website. You will find that all our clothing has their exact measurements indicated, both in inches and centimeters. This ensures the correct size can be chosen and allows us selling the clothing to the entire world.

We are looking forward helping you with this!
