Looking at 76 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many consumers expressed frustration regarding extremely slow deliveries, with orders taking weeks or even months to arrive from overseas without proper tracking updates. Buyers also noted poor customer service responses when trying to cancel or modify mistaken purchases, alongside receiving defective items that fell apart quickly. Though some faced major shipping delays, a small group of reviewers were genuinely satisfied with their purchases.

Not great value for money

Time taken for delivery lengthy although updates were ok . Not clear you are a Chinese company . Bag not great quality for the money and no padding considering it’s to hold electronic equipment.

Awful quality bags

I ordered a real leather, crossbody bag. It took about 2 weeks to arrive! NOT fast delivery as advertised.
The bag was really awful quality, it doesn't look like Leather, the colour is dreadful and not as advertised.
Customer services won't send me a refund, and I believe they've not sent the bag advertised.
I've just been told I can purchase another bag of the same value for just £9.95.
With the words"Many customers choose this option to avoid the hassle of returning the item, and I think this might be a great solution for you as well."
As if this happens very frequently!
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SITE!!!

Excellent quality item

Excellent quality item. Exactly as described.
Postage took a while but other than that I would recommend anyone to use this company.

Back pack took ages to arrive

Back pack took ages to arrive, came from China. Looks very cheap if I’d seen it in a shop wouldn’t have touched it. Was going to return but was going to cost postage back to China. Save your money and buy local!

Merchandise ships from China

I haven’t received my order yet so can’t comment on that - but what they don’t make clear is that the merchandise ships from China! The website misleadingly states “fast and free delivery” however I have been waiting nearly 2 weeks already and my tracking shows my order is still somewhere in China. Very disappointing and the item is meant for a birthday gift and looks like it won’t be arriving on time.

I ordered George | Men's Large Leather…

I ordered George | Men's Large Leather Commuter Messenger Bag

The delivery was good as wasnt in a terrible rush BUT the product itself is awful. They say this is leather but no way. It’s paper thin and the inside lining is like a paper bag. It rustles and I know it’s not the most expensive item in the world but you could probably get it off Temu for a fiver. Teaches me a lesson. Let’s see what the return process is like.

** Update **

Trying to return the goods, they have emailed three separate times to ask if I’m sure. They still have not started the returns process. Absolute joke of a company. Never buy from these!!!

Poor customer service and delivery

I ordered some Compression Packing Cubes in good faith, relying on the 3 day delivery. Ordered on 18th March it’s now the 26th March and no sign of my delivery! I decided to use the tracking, and realised the shipping was from China, clearly this was not going to be with me in 3 days! I sent an email on day 6 no response, however the tracking showed the plane had left China. Great I thought, however 28 hours later the flight still in the air and no sign of my goods, I need my parcel for 30th I’m unlikely to get it. I wish I hadn’t bothered. Why mislead and say 3 day delivery and pose as a uk based company? Don’t bother if you want your order in reasonable time scales. If I get the goods and they are good quality I will update this review but currently I would give zero stars if I could.
