Yes, your main worry should be the high probability of receiving a dress of inferior quality which you can of course return but will have to pay postage to hong kong.

.co.uk website shipping from America - might have been around since 2018 but I wouldn't use it, smacks of dodgy

What makes you think it ships from America? It looks like Hong Kong to me, which also perfectly explains the broken English.

I've interacted with similar companies before who also wanted ID to confirm the order and communicated in similar broken English. It's unlikely to be a scam, but I'd fully understand why someone wouldn't want to send that information and just cancel the order instead.

I just assumed as they were talking about a refund in US dollars, didn't look beyond the whois

The gear is definitely in reverse. Hopefully can cancel my order.

If you don't send the ID you should find they cancel it automatically.

As I mentioned before, this is a completely normal safeguard some Asian online payments need to go through so it's incredibly unlikely that they're trying to scam you etc.

Take a look at their refund policy on their site....

Hopefully the refund comes through.  I guess I learnt that a co.uk website could be a company based anywhere in the World.

Good news - you might have saved yourself a headache there if anything had gone wrong. As I mentioned I don’t think this is one of the many scam sites - but it carries a much higher risk of problems with a lot less comeback. So I’d call it a lucky escape and a lesson learned as you say. Hopefully this thread will come up when other people search for ‘is lalamira a safe website or company to buy from’.
