I try very hard not to buy anything made in China but it’s so hard!
I bought some kilner jars in a small dept store. I looked to see where the cheaper ones were made - China so I bought the real Kilner ones. I didn’t even look where they were made because Kilner are British aren’t they? No they’re not?

I ordered something from them a couple of years ago, and for several months I had my in-box bombarded with emails! Unsubscribing to them didn't worked, or putting them in my junk box! Although, they seem to have gone quiet for now ... Oh, and the quality was poor, so don't order from them!

My daughter ordered a dress from here. It was nothing like the picture on their website. Poor quality and shoddily made. Such a hassle to send back for a refund the dress ended up going to the charity shop. I would avoid them.

I wish I'd seen this a few days ago. I bought what looked like a fabulous good quality vibrant coloured sweatshirt, and when it arrived, it was terrible quality, hems not finished, material very thin, the colour looked as if it had been washed completely out of it...a waste of £20 + pounds..

I`ve recently bought 2 beautiful cardigans from them, love them, and they came fairly quickly as well.

Made in China has "DO NOT BUY" written all over it for me. Like Germanshepherdsmum, I would rather go without.

I refuse to buy anything that I know was made in China. I’d rather go without.

I've used them a few times, but not recently. I think they're based in China. but give prices in sterling.
I bought 2 of their wigs - very cheap and good quality. A few indications they were made in Russia.
Also a few clothes which were also good quality but far too small. Chinese people are very small-boned. I ended up giving them to a small Chinese worker in Tesco.(blouse, skirts etc)
she was thrilled!

eShakti are good. I've used them. Not cheap but very good quality. Not tried to return anything mind...

Terrible reviews! I've just had a look. Shoddy merchandise, not as described and difficult to return goods or get a refund. I wouldn't if I were you.

I always read reviews before ordering anything from pop-up ads.

Has anyone used this site that is advertised on Gransnet and are their clothes and delivery service good ?
