TO WONDER WHERE ALL THE CLOTHES ARE?

I see so many pop-up adverts that catch my eye with really lovely looking clothes but when I click on the link they inevitably take me to a site that is located in the far east. When I google the reviews for these sites they say 'do not buy from this company' 'scam' etc. But surely the pictures of the clothes in the orgininal adverts must exist somewhere? AIBR to think there must be a site selling the clothes as seen in the ad or AIBU and there is only ever a one-off of the clothes made specifically for the advert to lure you in?

A lot of the sizes on these websites are way off also,a friend sent for a really pretty dress a couple of years ago in a size 14UK and when it arrived she had trouble getting it to fit her 12yr old grand daughter also the seams where so badly sewn that it fell apart as she was unfolding it out of the packing it arrived in.

You can stop all these ads by installing an ad blocker.

It is what I did when these ads started moving and flashing. When they were static it was alright, I could ignore them, but I have dyspraxia, which is more than being clumsy and cack-handed and once the ads started moving, I simply could not read what I wanted to see, because of the visual disturbance caused by them.

It was really easy to do and while some sites ask me to turn it off before I use their site, I can usally just find another site with the information I want.

a person who bought some of these advertised clothes was on Rip Off Britain.... showning what you actually get... a big warning.
