Has anybody ever bought anything from this company?

I have to be careful what I say here as I am not running a company down at all but I bought a dress from a company that 'popped up'on my PC a couple of weeks ago. I had never heard of them but the dress on screen was very 'me' so I looked at their site. To cut a long story short I bought a dress from them & paid using Paypal. The dress took about 2 weeks to arrive but when it did I was very pleased with it. It was not expensive & it was exactly what I wanted & just as advertised.
I decided to look at their site again this morning but when I put the name into my browser it came up with a lot of pages (mostly from USA to be fair) saying don't touch them with a barge pole- clothes never arrive etc. They say it s a scam Chinese firm but my parcel came from Germany.
I would very much like to order another couple of dresses but am now wondering if I should.
I wondered if anyone else had had experience of them - either good or bad? I know I have to give the name & I hope I am not contravening anything by doing so by I must stress that my own experience has been 100% good so far.
Has anyone bought anything from Rotita & if so how was your experience?

I haven't but I keep seeing their adverts and the clothes look tempting. Is it a concern which should be shared with Trading Standards?

There are many online fashion web sites all advertising from London and European addresses but most of them are based in China using a fake address.

They are based in China. A good giveaway are the models are mostly Chinese and the same styles are on all their other China based sites with European addresses.

When you googled, did you read this thread on Mumsnet? www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2609761-rotita-com
According to this, I wouldn't risk ordering anything from them, even though you are pleased with your purchase - they don't seem bona fide.

What's the problem then? confused

If you pay by credit card or PayPal your money is safe.

Many clothing ranges come from China I think. The U.K.has a wedding dress company which has been going for years - it used to also have very good ranges of everyday clothing too all made in UK. DD was a manger of a branch of theirs for a couple of years and all the dresses now come from China - part of the reason for the long order period. Then a few years ago the company supplying the dresses bought the business and as far as I know still own them.

I see your point Riverwalk.
I was concerned in case I had a fight on my hands if the next order didn't arrive but as I do pay using Paypal I should be OK- I did read the thread on Mumsnet & several others.
I'll give it another go & keep my fingers crossed.
At least this time I know they take a couple of weeks to deliver.
They do have some lovely dresses ideal for warm summer nights on holiday.

I was once tempted to buy a dress online, found it was from a chinese company (can't remember the name ) and changed my mind.
OTOH my husband has bought lots of DIY type stuff from chinese vendors - very cheap and doesn't take long to arrive.

Yes, I bought a dress from them a couple of weeks ago when it was mentioned on here and also subsequently read the reviews and felt foolish. However it has turned up. It was only £20 and is very cheaply made but I think I will use it as a coverup over swimsuit or even as a summer nightie come housecoat, so am satisfied.
