If you are seeing Airy Dress advertisements......

The one website that lots of my contacts have been using and raving about is Shein. They have a HUGE variety of stuff, even by online standards. I haven't bought anything from them, but probably will at some point. They DID have a fabulous dress on there that I loved, but typically, it was sold out in all but a tiny size.

The people I know who have bought from it say it is important to buy by the measurements of each piece, rather than the size, because they vary by garment.

Thanks for that phoenix. It was only yesterday I was thinking I liked the look of some of the tops but like Sunlover I googled reviews and that decided me to avoid ordering.

Mine arrived, and in a way I wish it hadn't!

All I have been getting for a while is for anti-wrinkle cream in Dutch.
No idea why as I never buy anything online, and the woman in the ad looks more wrinkled than I am!!!!!

I did look at buying from this site but was astonished at the low prices. Did a bit of googling and read dreadful reports. One of my friends did order stuff and it never arrived.

MaisieD Phoenix I think Granset subscribes to a service that puts ads on the page automatically when it sees key words. Gransnet gets a tiny remuneration each time someone clicks on one (something like a penny a click!). They don't have a choice in what is advertised. You can object to someone about an ad or the site that it is advertising. There is a button somewhere on it to report it. (It may be the ad agency that you report it to)

My next warning on FB will be a lifetime ban. Why, because I've been scathing about these sites. This one that's mentioned here steels photos from a site called Lulu's.
Perhaps if more people joined us on FB ( the scumbags favoured market place) something might get done.
I'm not bothering to fight for others anymore. We all have a voice ( or fingers ?)
For those who want to know who's going to rip them off look at a site called Written with love it lists all the scammers who want to take your money for crap clothing. Many don't even receive the crap.
GN say there is nothing they can do about these adds.

Well Airy has just popped up on my page. It used to be Floryday or something similar.
The prices are ridiculous. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
I looked at one of the tops. It clearly said it was made of polyester.

Thanks for the warning. Thank goodness I have recently taken up prevaricating to the extent of not yet ordering anything. Guess at the moment GN have to go with anyone willing to cough up though it won’t enhance their reputation. My mum used to say that you are judged by the company you keep.

The material looks like the stuff that whole animals are wrapped in at the butchers.

I bought a black top from them last year that I thought would be loose and made of fabric like cheesecloth.

Same thing happened. Shiny material and more like a fitted blouse which I definitely didn't want.

I've never worn it.

I've had, successively, over the past few months adverts for 'Flora.. something, (can't exactly remember), New Chic and now Airy. The stuff they are advertising all looks identical and I suspect that it's the same organisation changing its name...

Does Gnet actually have a choice over who advertises on the site? Sometimes the side bar adverts I get are directly related to something I've recently searched for.

Namsnanny there is believe a connection to another site, but not sure which one.

Do you think GNHQ ought to consider who they let advertise on this site?

I know caveat emptor and all that, but still.........

Oh dear phoenix, I really liked that top too! I kept on thinking I should send for it.
Grrrrr! on your behalf.
Is it connected to the site which advertise some lovely shoes I wonder?
I hope you get some kind of compensation soon!

Is anything good coming out of China these days?

A family member ordered four things from one of theses websites.
They really were rubbish.
To send them back is a nightmare with the customer paying postage to China, it is common apparently for them to deny receiving them.
She has been trying to get redress from PayPal with no success.
Avoid all theses sites like the plague.

You're welcome, Namsnanny I ordered a top that looked ok, grey with daisies on.

Looked like a sort of crinkle fabric, arrived and was horrid shiny polyester, the sort that cheap nightdresses or slips might be made of. .

Trying to return the ghastly thing, big hassle so far.

Thank you phoenix for the heads up!
