Didobridal Review: Legitimacy, Product Range, Pricing Competiveness, Customer Service, Didobridal Scams and More

Since I created this blogging site, I have been trying hard to deliver an all-around review of any Chinese shopping website, hoping that interested parties can get all the basic information about the company without spending too much time scouting around the internet. As for Didobridal.com, another Chinese online supplier of wedding dresses, evening dresses, prom dresses and other special occasion dresses, I would also like to include all key points about them to help you uncover their real identity.

General Info

The online store is based in Shenzhen, China while their co-operative dressmakers are mostly based in Suzhou, the manufacturing hub of wedding dresses and all kinds of other formal dresses and semi-formal dresses. Didobridal is not enjoying a big name like Lightinthebox.com in the field of special occasion dresses on the global market, but it is truly a legally registered firm running real business.

Similar to many other China-based online stores, Didobridal is operated along with a number of sister shopping websites by the same company. So far I am pretty sure that Fancyladies.com is of one the sister websites of Didobridal.com, focused on different product lines though.

Prices & Discounts

The prices for the wedding dresses, flower girl dresses, prom dress or other special occasion dresses at Didobridal.com do now show an obvious advantage compared to their competitors. However, the frequently issued coupon codes or special offers can save you a lot with deep discounts. For instance, the Hot Styles Sale is now going on there with up to 85% off. Most of the bestselling styles included are priced at under $100 after discount.

Baginc.com: A Store to Buy Designer and Celebrity Inspired Bags at Super Cheap Prices

Just as its name indicates, Baginc.com is a shopping destination for all kinds of bags. If you are looking for fashionable handbags, purses, wallets, shoulder bags, totes, clutches, evening bags, top handle bags, cross-body bags or messengers, satchels or backpacks, you will find tons of styles to choose from there.

The bags available at Baginc.com are designed based on the latest trends dominating the high streets. Note that they are not genuine designer handbags for which we need to pay thousands of dollars or even more. They are technically copies of the name brand bags though the store might have kept the infringement problems within the gray area by adding some variations. Anyway, don’t be naïve to believe that they are designer bags. As always, when we see something too good to be true, they are probably not true. All bags do not have any logos and with some minor differences, they are actually not exactly the same as the original ones.

From my personal angle, the Baginc.com site should be particularly suitable for those who love high-end handbags with superior designs and great quality but don’t think it necessary to invest such big money in a luxury designer bag. Most of the trendy bags for sale at the site are priced at between $30 and $200. Plus, they offer free shipping for orders of $99.

They claim that the images of the products there are all shot based on the actual finished products. From the pictures, it seems the fabrics used are quite good. Generally, we can instantly tell whether the quality is good or not from the looks though misconception may occur. To test the actual quality of the bags, you might need to buy one and check every detail in person.

Though retail business is their major revenue earner, they also take care of wholesale orders and you can get lower prices for bulk orders. Besides, they also provide drop-shipping service. Click here to learn more details.

Introducing Zlz.com: A Asia-based Online Boutique of Fashionable Clothing for Women

When I discovered the Chinese international online fashion store Zlz.com, I was instantly shocked by the three-letter-only domain name. Based on my experience, it is not easy to get such a short domain name for an online store unless they are very powerful in terms of investment capital.

I did more research on the company out of curiosity and found something that might interest those who want to shop there. Zlz.com was registered in 2000 while updated in January, 2013. Its current owner is a Chinese who leaves a US contact address though. This may mean the store purchased the domain name earlier this year for their online business, which also implies that the store should be quite young in terms of years of establishment.

It is nothing surprising to me as I am witnessing tons of new China-based online stores coming up to grab the market share every year. Besides, new stores may have some exclusive advantages to benefit customers as long as they are legitimate and really want to expand their business. For instance, they tend to offer worldwide free shipping and lower prices. When they grow up and become a widely known online shop, they might no longer provide free shipping service and will also raise the prices. Milanoo.com, another well-known online boutique like Zlz.com, is a typical example of this kind.

Maykool Review: Safety & Scam, Product Range, Pricing, Service and More

Honestly, I had never heard of Maykool.com until I discovered the site in a third-party customer review forum last week. It was the amazing range of fashion products that aroused my interest into digging out some useful information about them just in case some individual fashion shoppers might want to buy things there.

Safety & Scam

After a quick tour to scanning the key sections of the shopping website, I got an impression that it should be run by some individual businessman or businesswoman who had worked for an export company for years before he/she decided to start his/her own business. I guess the team should be quite small – probably only 20 around employees.

Based on the Whois domain name registration record, the name Maykool.com was created in September, 2012, which implies that this site itself is still very young. Anyway, I am not sure whether the site owner was using another domain name to do the online business before adopting Maykool.com.

The Alexa website analysis shows that the site is ranked around 170, 000 globally. Based on my estimate, it should host 2,000 to 3000 visits each day. The traffic is not impressive at all compared to big shopping sites like Lightinthebox.com (read review). However, it at least proves that every day the site is visited by quite a number of visitors and chances are rare that it is a phishing site or any other types of illegal sites.

When I tried to use terms like “Maykool scams”, “Maykool negative reviews” or “Maykool complaints” to search Google to confirm the credibility of the website, I got few results. Nevertheless, this does not necessarily mean that it is too perfect to be reviewed negatively against. I am more inclined to believe that the major reason for such phenomenon is because the users of the website are still very limited in terms of quantity.

Then I tried other keywords such as “Maykool” and “Maykool reviews” and this time I got closely related results, which are all positive or neutral. It seems the site is trying to make use of all kinds of social networking websites like Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest to enlarge their customer base. Such marketing efforts convince me that Maykool.com is led by someone quite familiar with the cross-border online trading industry and sensitive to the latest e-commerce marketing approaches.

Product Range

The site is all about women’s fashion, including dresses, swimsuits, shoes, clubwear, skirts, T-shirts, shirts & blouses, vests & basics, outerwear, sweaters, shorts & rompers, pants, lingerie and hosiery. Most of the fashionable pieces are for meant to create daily looks instead of special occasion looks. If you are looking for evening dresses, prom dresses, wedding dresses or other formal dresses, it is not the place; but if you are seeking affordable stylish outfits for common occasions, it may deserve a look.

Can I Trust to Buy Things from DHgate.com or Aliexpress.com?

One reader left a question at the comment box of one post talking about DHgate.com(read the detailed review) at my site, asking if the shopping site is trust to buy things she wants. She said she was reading bad things about them off the internet and as a result she was hesitated to make the shopping decision although she did see some really wonderful products of her great interest there.

Here is my reply to her comment：

“Hi there,

DHgate is a famous Chinese online transaction platform for Chinese sellers and global buyers. I personally have worked for that company and if you ask about my opinion about whether they are reliable or not, my answer is definitely “Yes.” However, you should note that the sellers vary significantly in terms of credibility and service standards at the site. You are encouraged to do research on the sellers you are interested in trading with as much as possible by checking their feedback score and customer reviews and also through the communications. Also, do remember to always use the site to trade with any seller there and never bypass the site to make deals with the sellers otherwise without the site’s protection system you are very likely to be ripped off.

At the same time, you should keep all related evidence just in case you encounter a dishonest seller. For instance, the communication record, the pictures of the items you receive from the seller, etc. If a dispute is incurred, never trust the seller and follow his or her suggestion to solve the problem. Many scam cases happen simply because the buyers believe that the sellers are really solving their problems and trust them to remove the negative feedback against the sellers in order to get a satisfactory solution to the dispute. In many cases, after you change the negative feedback, the seller just turns her or his back against you and never responds to your request again. My advice: always use the site for a solution by opening a dispute in time. If you do all this right, you can set assured that your money won’t be taken away by scammers.

Besides DHgate.com, you can also consider Aliexpress.com, another super popular Chinese online trading platform connecting suppliers and buyers. They also have lots of products at low prices to choose from. Likewise, you should use the same cautions when shopping such trading sites. You can simply use the two sites to compare prices and then make the best shopping decision.

Good luck with your shopping!
