I also.ordered from a company i thought was in London. BELLARE LONDON. I saw the advert on Pinterest £50 dress half price £24.99. Received it 3 weeks later was of cheap thin material on emailing for a return address they stated i would have to pay for returns and a tracking number which i would have to take a photo of and email to them.The cost would have been for a very small package £18.50. I knew i would have to pay for returns but thought it was London. On emailing them they offered 10% of the cost put back in my account and keep the dress stating i could give the dress to family or friends!! Telling them they were a load of scammers they offered to put 20% back in my account. £5 !! Big deal. Nothing on there site suggests it would have to be sent back to China. LESSON LEARNED!!

It says in their returns section:
"• Items must be shipped back to our warehouse in China with the corresponding tracking code."
The majority of these sites popping up are the same, always have a good look through their shipping and returns policy before buying, it's the only way to be sure
