Their adds are popping up more and more ...

Some very nice art work.

 

 

A closer look suggests ordering from UK, but returns to be sent to China ....

 

 

Anybody bought from them ?

 

Any feedback on their goods ?

 

Any chance of a local distributor ?

I placed an order and paid. They were unable to deliver in the timeframe requested. Cancelled order and got full refund without any issues

I placed an order and paid as well. Waiting for the item to arrive. Fingers crossed it is the same as advertised. Will report back once the item arrives.

Looks the same as Wish or any ebay seller, just pay with PayPal so you can easily get a refund if it never arrives.

 

I'm assuming they ship with the Post Office?

What are Post office delivery times like currently for Chinese orders?

I ordered 2 pairs of cycling tights from them at the beginning of March. Each one was shipped separately (2 different sizes) and I received them a couple of days apart about 2 weeks later. They were delivered to my door by Fastway couriers and there were no extra costs to be paid. They were shipped from China.

They have some really funky shirts .

 

There is a lady who advertises on FB that has the same  shirts  that are still reasonably priced but not as cheap but the convenience is you order from her in SA. She obviously orders in bulk, gets it delivered  and  then sells in SA. 

 

Alas I can't remember any other details so will wait for it to come up again on one of the groups.

My jersey finally arrived! Took a while as I opted for ordinary post with no tracking. Looks good, quality on par with most of my other jerseys. 

I paid R 230 including shipping + R 33 for customs. Ridiculous value for money. Will order again.

I ordered something a month and a half back. Payed priority shipping and the items quality is not what was expected or as advertised. Not sure if I would use them again. I find the variety of some stuff to be very small vs ali express.

I've ordered multiple items from this retailer on three occasions in the last 18 months. It's molto important to check the size guide and user reviews for every item as sizes can vary greatly between manufacturers. Some items I ordered were XL and some were XXXL, but all fitted excellently 'cos I followed the guide.

Some baggy shorts and shirts have seen heavy rotation in a 6 to 7 day cycling week for almost 18 months and are as good as well-known brands that I bought locally.
