Dishonest seller

Previous review

Basically they lie. I read many reviews before purchasing from this website and noticed that the timing the give for shipping is not even close to actual shipping time. Then I chose just items that said ready to ship within 24hrs. So I could get my order on time even if the shipping takes twice the time written on the website. It's been three days and it still says processing. Do Not Waste your time and trust.

Glitchy
August 3, 2017

I ordered LED light up shoes, they came in the mail and the box was like a flat pancake. So when I opened the box the shoes were OK and everything was going good until the next day when I turned them on, they were very GLICHY, so now I can't turn them on because they start to glitch. Can I return them and get new ones please.

Dishonest
August 2, 2017

Dishonest!!! Paid extra for express shipping 2-3 business 5 business days later and nothing! When I contacted them their response is international shipping takes up to a week.....So why not state that when checking out and why charge for expedite shippping when they don't deliver?? Never buying here again!! Only gave them a 1 because zero was not an option

My son (in canada) ordered a smart wristband bp monitor for me. It was to be shipped here in the philippines. After the site received my son's payment, there was a verification process done to ensure security of the transaction. We were asked to send details of a billing statement in my name to ensure (again) that i am truly the recipient of the item. A few days later, the transaction status posted a positive one only to find out in the end that it was cancelled because the payment was made in canada and the recipient is from another country! What a foolish idea to cancel a transaction?
