Hi dear,

Thank you for ordering from our website. We’re truly sorry for keeping you waiting.

You placed on 17 July including 4 items. The processing usually takes 3-7 business days. Your items were shipped out on 21 July and left Hong Kong for its destination on 27 July.

You should know that after we shipped out your package to the courier, the courier still needs to transport the package to the post office. Therefore, the post office needs a little time before updating the logistic information. Hope you can kindly understand it. We have checked it and the logistic information is still updating. Please wait a few more days.

Apologies for all the trouble and hope you will receive your order soon.

They shipped my order to a different address and when I wrote to them about it, they insisted that I went to my neighbor's place to look for it. I explained that I couldn't because I had moved out so it was just my former roommate in the house, but they kept insisting that I went to look for my order to my negihbor's house. Watch out, these people don't acknowledge their mistakes.

Terrible
August 2, 2016

I placed an order almost a MONTH ago, took about 2 weeks to process then finally got shipped. It was suppose to arrive 2 days ago but failed because apparently it was the incorrect address, which is completely wrong. I had the correct address, I don't understand why it was shipped back & I definitely don't appreciate the time it's taken for my clothes to be shipped & delivered. Very disappointed...

Hi dear,

Thank you for ordering from our website. We’re truly sorry for keeping you waiting.

Usually it takes 3-7 business days for our suppliers to get the order ready for shipping, but if the items you ordered are in great demand or there is something wrong with our suppliers it will take longer for us to get your order ready. We apologize for the delay.

Your items were sent back because there was something wrong in transit. If you still want your items, we will resend it after we reconfirm your address. Certainly, it is okay for you to cancel the order and we will refund to you. Is it okay for you?

Apologies again for all the trouble. Waiting for your reply.

Late Shipment
August 1, 2016

For the longest time my package says it's labeled but hasn't been shipped. It's been over 3 days and it's said the same thing and hasn't shipped yet. It does not say "expired" it says shipped and I even have a tracking number. Everything has been paid for.

I am so surprised how long this order is taking. I was very skeptical because of reviews now I wish I would've followed that instinct. I wish I could tell you what I ordered but I don't even remember. I really hope the product is worth the wait time.

Terrible!
August 1, 2016

Ordered some items about three weeks ago, did the free shipping and figured it would be about a week to receive... Nope still nothing. When I contacted customer service, they told me that I need to contact FedEx because the shipment was sent to them... But clearly FedEx never did receive it because it still said that the label was created.
Asked customer service to look in to it, and what do you know? They said the package was lost and asked if I wanted a refund. I sent them a message asking them to expedite the items without charging me additional, as I still wanted them... But have not gotten a single response from anyone and it has been over 2 days. Go figure...
I will never ever order from them again. It is true that you get what you pay for!

I ordered 4 items on July 10th and still have not received them. When i try and track my package it doesnt work. It says it has indeed shipped but i have not received anything yet.

*************UPDATE*************
I have recieved my products as of 2:13 on August 4th. Quality is okay certain products in the images on the site that were provided definitly look ALOT longer than the actual product. The rest of the items fit in the other places. The length is the matter.

I ordered Sunday 7/24/16 I didn't getting any tracking info any emails etc. My order still says that it's processing. And 7 hours after I sent a ticket, I see that I it says to allow up to 7 days to prepare shipment. I also paid for expedited shipping thinking I would get it this week. I only ordered two things and I even took the chance with ordering from the site after asking my friend about it. At this point I just want to cancel and order the same thing somewhere else.

I have been trying to get you guys to ship my order for a week now and I haven't gotten a response from anyone stating that they can cancel the item that's holding up the order and ship the order off. The reason for me selecting the express shipping was so that I can receive my items in an orderly fashion. I am frustrated at this point and am thinking about cancelling my order. I've read a number of reviews about there poor shipping and decided to still give them a chance. I am hoping to have these items by August 6th. I spent 200$ on items that I thought I would have for vacation and it's just so frustrating with no responses or shipment details. Why is my order still processing? I am asking that they cancel my item holding up the process and send everything out.

I placed an order on the 18th. I specifically addressed that I needed it expedited because I am going on vacation on the 29th and I will have nothing to wear! I could understand if I irresponsibility placed the order late and am expecting it to be here on time but no I placed my order in on time so I could get it before I leave. This seems to be a problem, I see with many people this is very annoying because you guys are quick to get the money but then you are not satisfying customers. Point is, I need my stuff by the 29th, end of story I've waited more 10 days already and you guys clearly stated that it was between 3-5 days
